Hi every one there, I will be selling two (2)Heckel contrabassoon bocals that I am using with my '04 Mollenhauer: 1) Heckel bocal #3: $500 USD 2) Pre-war...
Howdy Will, I find that the "trick" is to be able to make both sides of the reed the same (very much so) with the machine, and then develop the technique to do...

Hi, everyone, Does anyone have an opinion on how much a 7000 series Püchner bassoon would be worth? Do you think a price of $8500 is to much, about right?...
