Cooper Model Puchner Bassoon 8370 was made in the late 20th century, probably the early ‘80’s. It was well used since its creation, coming with several notable improvements and needing adjustments as well. The high-D key was already installed, as well as a high-A bridge. It has the lined space for a balance hanger addition, and silver water tubes have been added. Some light cosmetic work has been done to seal the finish, though it shows its age. The instrument has not been refinished in order to protect sound quality. A Heckel bocal is included with purchase as well as a new case and seatstrap. All work was done by a professional bassoon repairperson, and has an insurance replacement value of $15,000.00. If you are local to Baltimore, MD you may test the instrument. Shipping price for registered and insured ground mail. No returns accepted. Overview of the instrument:
