Original classical bassoon for sale made by Ignaz Huittl.

Ignaz Huittl was a musical instrument maker in the historic town of Graslitz (modern day Kraslice, Czech Republic). The town is renowned for musical instrument making, being well known for this for several centuries at least. Huittl was active as a bassoon maker between 1750 and 1800 (1, 2). Langwill states he specialised in the bassoon (3).

This is a 9 key instrument. It does not have a case or crook, but we can provide a baroque/classical bassoon gig bag at additional cost.
