We Now Sell Amati Bassoons and Contrabassoons

Thought you would like to know that we now sell the full range of new Amati bassoons and contrabassoons. Amati's range of affordable but high quality, European-made student bassoons and contras are ideal for the student and schools, as they are well-made, durable and reliable bassoons with a great sound.

Amati have probably been the most popular student bassoon over several decades, and we have regularly sold them secondhand to many happy customers - under the various historic brand names of Boosey and Hawkes 400 and Corton (both of these available currently secondhand on our web site).

We will be getting stock in before Christmas, so order now in time for Christmas. See our web site for more details New Amati bassoons for sale

See them here: http://www.doublereed.co.uk/Bassoon_Accessories_For_Sale.htm

The case in particular is well worth considering - it is a high quality case which holds your bassoon securely, but with backstraps for ease of carrying. It is for sale for a very competitive price of £295.00.

Brand New Bassoons Now Available

To further improve our service to bassoonists in Wales, the UK and beyond, from October 2012 we have  started selling new bassoons to go alongside our secondhand ones.

We are starting with Oscar Adler and Gebrüder Mönnig bassoons and contrabassoons, but expect to add other makes over the coming months. We aim to have a full range of bassoons available, from ones suitable for beginners through to professionals.

Adler bassoons are suitable for everyone from beginners to serious amateurs and are priced at between £4,450 and £5,550 including VAT (see our site for prices excluding VAT) and include a short reach bassoon. Adlers are good, solid, well-performing instruments and have been one of the most popular brands over several decades.

Mönnig bassoons are aimed at the top end of the market - professionals and degree-level music students - with prices ranging from just under £11,000 to £21,000 (again including VAT). They are very well constructed and have a sound suitable for the most refined orchestral and solo performances.

We are also selling one contrabassoon from Adler and one from Mönnig - the Adler 1366 and the Mönnig Model 300.
