Description
Up for auction is a Fox Renard Model II Wood bassoon in nice condition with a brand new protec case. It plays extremely well, and has a great dark color. This high quality Wooden bassoon is made in the USA by Fox, one of the premier bassoon makers in the world. This instrument includes standard keywork plus High D and High E keywork for full range. The Model II is a long-bore professional instrument originally designed by Hugo Fox after his personal Heckel bassoon. They are known for having a great dark sound. These instruments are still being made, and new cost $26,000. Now, you can have a professional bassoon for the price of a new student model fox 240. We have just finished overhauling this instrument, and it is now in great playing condition with all new pads and tenon wrappings. It plays cleanly and evenly up and down. New finish was applied to several areas of the bassoon that were worn through, springs retensioned, keywork buffed, and tenons rewrapped. It is ready to go and will last for years. The plating is nickel, and has spotting on the plating, which is only a cosmetic issue. A Fox CVX Bocal is included with this instrument. Cosmetically, this instrument looks great from an audience perspective, but there are still some imperfections on the finish on the wood, mostly henpecks a few some small chips in the lacquer that are highlighted in the photos below. That said, the photos speak for themselves. This instrument plays great, and looks great. The case is brand new from Protec. Also included is a silk swab, seat strap, hand crutch, and reed. Please ask any questions about this instrument, we are bassoonists and are happy to help. (please note in the photos some of the keygaurds had not been installed yet, they will come installed on the instrument.) Why Buy From Us?
We actually fix the instruments we sell! Unlike many sellers on eBay who claim not to know anything about the instruments they are selling, we are woodwind specialists with decades of combined experience. We care about how all our instruments sound and play, and our feedback record reflects that. We professionally adjust, overhaul, and clean up all instruments that we sell to insure you the highest quality musical instruments available on eBay. This process takes hours for each individual horn and would normally cost several hundred dollars at your local music shop. This 10+ point process means replacing worn and damaged pads, adjusting the position of leaky pads to seal properly, adjusting and replacing damaged springs, making sure the instrument is regulated to play all alternate fingerings, replacing loose cork connectors, instrument cleaning, oiling, playtesting, and steralizing the instrument.
You can be assured that when you receive the instrument it will be in top playing condition. We are so confident that you will not only enjoy, but love your new instrument that we offer a 14-day no questions asked money back guarantee on all our instruments. If you are not satisfied in any way with your purchase, return the instrument for a full refund minus shipping.
