This Bell bassoon was owned and played in San Francisco! It was owned by one of the principal players there and it was chosen above many other fantastic instruments. This Bell was made in the late 90s. It comes with some interesting key work including an Ab/Bb trill, a left D/Eb trill, a plateau key for the left third finger, and many extra rollers. It also has a cool whisper key lock mechanism for the right thumb that turns on and off. All Bell bassoons come as compact cut instruments which I love. This one has particularly beautiful striped wood. The instrument has a French bell. Check it out!
