Description
 


Up for auction is a Fox Model 51 bassoon in nice condition.  This high quality resonite bassoon is made in the USA by Fox, one of the premier bassoon makers in the world.  This instrument has standard keywork.  The model 51 is a special instrument in that is modified slightly to fit smaller hands, ideal for middle school and younger as a first bassoon. This instrument is in great shape and was just overhauled with new pads.  The instrument has been further adjusted and plays cleanly and evenly up and down.  This is a great starter bassoon, and because of the high quality fox design, you will find that it will play better than many lesser quality wooden ones.  A Standard bocal is included with this instrument. The shiny nickel plating on the keys is in great condition.  The original fox case is in great condition, but does show some wear.  This instrument plays great, but as it is designed for small hands, adults will have to adjust to play this instrument.  The U joint is a little bent down, but it does not affect the playability of this instrument and is not noticable unless you take off the boot cap.  Also included is a silk swab, seat strap, hand crutch, and reed.  Please ask any questions about this instrument, we are happy to help.
