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.

Improvement to Double Reed's Buy Back Scheme

From 1st May 2012 Double Reed Ltd. has improved and extended its Buy Back Scheme for its student bassoons. The Buy Back Scheme enables  purchasers of our bassoons to get back up to 90% of the price paid if they change their minds about the bassoon bought.

This gives peace of mind to budding bassoonists (or their parents) who may decide that a bassoon isn't quite right for them after a few months of playing.

Previously, 90% back was available for the first month of ownership; this has now been increased to the first three months. And we have also increased the period in which a purchaser can return a bassoon under the Buy Back Scheme from 6 months to 2 years.

Now, if you or your child wishes to move on to another instrument altogether, or upgrade to a better bassoon, you have an easy means of returning your bassoon for a large percentage of the purchase price in the first two years of ownership, helping to take away some of the worry about purchasing a bassoon for the first time.

Our Buy Back Scheme is unique in the industry for secondhand instruments, so now not only can you save money by buying secondhand, you can also have a sure and easy way of selling your bassoon on for a good price when you decide to part with it.

Unique Buy Back Scheme for Secondhand Bassoons

Today we have introduced what we think is a unique scheme for secondhand woodwind sales - up to 90% buy back on the price of a bassoon you purchase from Double Reed Ltd. if you return it within the first 6 months.

We have introduced this scheme because many parents tell us they are concerned that their child may not persist with their instrument after a few months. Now parents (and anyone else buying our beginner- and student-level bassoons) can return the instrument to us and, as long as the instrument is in the same condition as that in which we sold it, we will refund a large proportion of the purchase price: the exact amount varying according to the length of time you have had the bassoon.
