This is a VERY NICE Schreiber semi-professional bassoon. Schreiber makes very good intermediate level bassoons. Intonation is very good action feels good and these bassoons sound good enough to play in a youth civic or college orchestra. This particular one is in very good condition. There are no cracks anywhere. Pads and action have just been shop adjusted and this horn should play well as is. Pics tell the rest of the story! Please feel free to email with additional questions. Bid early, bid often!!!
