For sale a 'vintage' Bassoon branded Lyons Monarch Chicago (believed to be Czechoslovakian or German made). I have owned this instrument since circa 2004/5 and used it to play in my University Orchestra/Symphonic Wind Orchestra. It has some wear a tear and some dinks, scuffs in places but plays well. Could probably use an overhaul and some pads replacing as some are old. I had it serviced when I bought it but it hasn't been done since. I have checked it's in good playing order this morning and it still produces a good solid tone. It would be ideal for a beginner, amateur or student who is interested in taking up this wonderful much forgotten instrument, or even a enthusiast who wishes to restore/collect. I won't be heartbroken if it does not sell as I am happy to keep it, it's just I don't find much time to play at the moment.I have a replaced the original box with a 'Ritter' bassoon gig bag which you can wear like a back pack. It has only one bocal, the ring is broken (see pics) but doesn't affect quality of playing, just aesthetics (I spray painted it white to look like other bassoon as this one has a yellow ring). There is also a bird, neck sling and reed case included, I'll even shot in some of my Bassoon books if it sells.Any questions please feel free to contact me.Item is heavy, approx 6kg, please email me for postage quotes.
