For fifteen years, we have lived inside the world of bassoons.
Listening to players, studying instruments, solving problems and asking questions. Our insights and knowledge grew.
Eventually, one question became impossible to ignore:
What would we make from everything we had learnt?
The result is Ludlow Bassoons: a British maker of modern professional bassoons, alongside historically informed instruments.
After years of work we are now making our own bassoons. Available in the early part of 2027:
A modern professional bassoon made from 10-year-aged flamed maple with choice of finishes
A baroque bassoon based on an instrument to be announced shortly
A classical bassoon based on a Charles Rust French instrument in the Veriam Music Trust Collection
We work on all makes of bassoon and contrabassoon from student level to professional, and baroque to modern.
Our repairers are professional bassoonists and contrabassoonists in their own right, and will carry out work on your instrument to the standard they would expect for themselves.
