How to lose money buying a bassoon in three easy steps...

1. See a really good value bassoon on the internet
2. Believe everything the seller tells you while suspending your critical faculties
3. Pay for the bassoon without seeing it

More seriously, we regularly get fraudsters stealing our pictures and copy, and then offering our bassoons on various internet sales sites using our pictures and copy (for a fraction of the real price, of course).

We never sell via third parties, so always check with us if you see a bassoon on our site which is also advertised elsewhere - it is probably an attempted fraud. The latest fraud attempt is based on our Fox 201D, which has been displayed on a number of music sales sites around the world without our permission.

We can't imagine that the sort of people who buy bassoons would fall for this sort of scam, but nevertheless, we will always help the police with their enquiries and subsequent prosecutions if our help is needed.

But if in doubt, please talk to us first.

Fox Bassoon Manufacture

Fox in America have produced a highly informative video, which can be found on YouTube, on the production of Fox bassoons. It includes a tour of their factory and a step by step guide to some of the complicated processes which are used to make a Fox bassoon, from the storing and ageing of specially selected maple, right up to the finished product. You can view this video here:

The video is in seven parts and takes about an hour in total. Well worth a watch!

We currently have a stunning 2008 Fox 201D professional bassoon for sale, which can be viewed here on our website:
