GORGEOUS! For sale is a very recent Fox Renard Artist Model 240 Wood bassoon in Near Mint condition.  The Fox 240 is widely considered the best pre-professional bassoon available, and for the money you will not find a better instrument on the market today.  Its intonation is superb and the beautiful lyrical tone is perfect for solo work, and will last a player all the way through college even as a music major.  It has a serial number in the 52000 range, meaning it is extremely recent in its production for a used instrument, made around 2011. It is easy to play, still has that new bassoon smell, and is in great condition.  Its thick silver plating shines beautifully. I fully guarantee the quality of this bassoon and can attest to its playability and tone.  It has a few cosmetic imperfections from normal use, but you will not be disappointed by the instrument and the way it plays. See the photos below of the instrument you will be receiving. This high quality Wooden bassoon is made in the USA by Fox, one of the premier bassoon makers in the world. This instrument includes standard keywork for the high level intermediate player including high D and E. A Fox CVC Bocal is included with this instrument as well.
Cosmetically, this instrument looks great from an audience perspective, but there are some imperfections on the finish on the wood.  See photos below for more details. The case is a nice protec case.  Also included is a swab, seat strap, and hand crutch. Please ask any questions about this instrument, we are happy to help.
