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.

Pristine condition Adler bassoon just available

We now have for sale an as-new Oscar Adler 1357 for sale. This bassoon has been completely overhauled into perfect condition. The metalwork has been re-silvered; all pads, corks and felts replaced; and the mechanism adjusted throughout. In addition, the wood is in perfect condition, and we have added a brand new Adler case to give the finishing touch.

Adler 1357s are still sold, and these bassoons retail for over £5,000 new; so this is an opportunity to buy one at a huge discount which is just as good cosmetically, will last just as long and be as easy to maintain as a new one.


Furthermore, in our opinion, this bassoon has been very little played in its life, as the woodwork doesn't show any signs of wear which virtually all bassoons show if they have been played regularly.




See http://www.doublereed.co.uk/Bassoon_Adler_96325_For_Sale.htm for more information on the bassoon and how to try it out.
