A Guide On How To Buy a Bassoon For Your Child Part One

A Guide on How to Buy a Bassoon for Your Child is a short series to address some of the questions we are frequently asked by parents who have decided to (or have been told they need to!) buy a bassoon for their child. For a parent who is not a bassoon player, as most aren't, this can be daunting. Bassoons are high value instruments and it is a decision you will want to get right.

The first thing to say is that you're not alone. Here are some scenarios we often hear:

Vance Lee is late! Hong Kong Philharmonic

• My son has been using a county-owned bassoon but they have asked for it back
• My daughter has been borrowing a bassoon from the school but this instrument is in such poor condition that it stops her from progressing
• Our son has been playing on a mini-bassoon but has now outgrown it so we need to find a full-sized bassoon
• My daughter wishes to learn the bassoon but the school do not have an instrument they can lend her.

So you need to buy a bassoon. At Double Reed Ltd. we have a wide range of makes and types of bassoon for sale. But where do you start when it all seems so complicated?

Part two of this blog will discuss what type and size of bassoon you need. The options are mini bassoon, short reach bassoon, or full size bassoon. Read on to see what we have to say - Part Two coming soon!

If you have a specific question you would like us to answer then please ask and we will include it in our follow up posts on this series.
