Bassoon Expertise

Bassoon photography - does the camera ever lie?

Being able to see clearly what each of the bassoons on our website looks like – the keywork it has and the bassoon’s condition – is important. Here are some of the things we do to ensure you see our bassoons as accurately as possible on our website, and we hope you gain an insight into the lengths we go in order to bring you bassoons in perfect visual clarity. It is not as easy as it may appear…

Accurately measuring the diameter of the bore is extremely difficult without rare, specialist tools. See how we do it in our latest video!
