This is a beautiful Maple Bassoon manufactured by an old German company Kohlert that started manufacturing Saxophones in the 1900's and endured the many changes in Germany to become the largest manufacture of musical instruments. The current owners specialize in Bassoons, and this is a great and beautiful model. I purchased this new on Ebay somewhere about 15 years ago but in the last 5 years have been unable to play because of arthritis. It has a beautiful sound. I would use the short bocal, and a short reed, and use mostly diaphragm and loose embouchure to produce a lot of overtones and a great sound. I played it yesterday to determine if the low notes worked and they came out nice and clear. I did not use a crutch, but included with the instrument are my tools that fit in the case. It has stamped into the boot a serial number L106. This is in like new condition, and well cared for. I also have tools for making reeds and some 40 year old cane from the Var river district in France that I would be willing to sell for a reasonable price in you contact me. I can still play the piano, so will continue to play music, just not on a bassoon.. Contact for any questions.Respectfully, Alex
