Coming shortly, a long bore Fox Model II bassoon in great condition. Fox Model IIs are one of Fox's top professional models. They are long bore, thinner walled, more like an older Heckel bassoon, which gives a resonant tone and stable intonation.
This one will be available to try during July 2025, and is currently undergoing an overhaul include a full re-pad and much more.
Commission sale on behalf of a private owner.
Here is what Fox have to say about this model:
the long bore design can be identified by a very warm "round" tone, evenly balanced, with excellent intonation throughout the entire range. It is the most secure design and its tone quality fits well into both chamber music and orchestral bassoon parts. Like all Fox bassoons, it features freedom of response, intonation, tonal quality, and projection that will satisfy the requirements of the most discriminating performers.
