For sale, a Moosmann 150 Orchestra Model bassoon second hand. Bought new in 2020 - a very nice example.
This bassoon has a high level of keywork at this price point, and plays with a remarkable evenness of tone and resonance. It is a very nice bassoon to play on, with great projection.
Featuring:
Resonant, warm sound with a lot of flexibility
Smooth intonation
Finish in good condition
Silver plating in very good condition
Made from naturally striped maple wood
A good level of keywork including and up to high E, left thumb whisper key lock, 9 rollers, three trill keys, extra low C key, extra F#-G#-Bb keys
Lined finger holes extending into the bore to protect against water and bubbling
Butt joint lined on both bores for extra water protection
Spike attachment (may be removed if required)
Moosmann P1W and P2W crooks in good condition
Marcus Bonna professional case with back straps in good condition
This bassoon has been fully serviced by us immediately prior to going on sale and is in superb playing condition. Please note - the wing joint tenon has been replaced by Steve Lock and appears to be a professional job done nicely, and should be a permanent fix. This is a common repair on bassoons.
