The Ludlow mini bassoon combines high quality craftsmanship with excellent sound quality.
As well as being fine instruments in their own right, mini-bassoons are ideal for children starting on the bassoon from age 7 or so.
What we love about the Ludlow mini bassoon:
Suitable for age 7-11, until ready for a full-sized bassoon
Almost identical keywork to a full-sized bassoon ensuring easy progression
Accurate intonation and tuning
Special dense plastic resin body with resonant acoustic properties, like maple
Nickel-silver plated keys and mechanism
Unique high register vent key allowing the instrument to sing in the top register
