Thanks. It's my understanding that the Selmers have have a very different u-tube/boot cap configuration than BC, so it looks as though it's just the cap that's...
Hello all, I'm new to this group and wanted to pose a couple of questions to those here and am interested in any observations folks may have had. It seems that...
Hi David, Welcome to the club. As background, I'm an old guy (age 59), who majored in music at a conservatory (Cincinnati), left the field and stopped playing...
Hola buenas, for what it's worth: I'm a Finn now retired and living in Spain but with a working life in Finland, England and Denmark. And, of course, playing...
I suspect that European musicians are more knowledgeable about French vs. German bassoons than Americans. I've chatted with professional musicians, Buffet in...

Welcome to the group, David. I'm retired from the U of Idaho, where I played with the Northwest Wind Quintet for 32 years. After a sabbatical year in Paris...
I have played my Buffet is various amateur orchestras and chamber groups for many years here in NYC. No problem as long as I am at the level of the other...
Welcome to the group. I have to say that I'm very surprised at the responses thus far to the question concerning the acceptance (or not) of le basson in...
Well, yes, but it depends on who is listening and for what are they listening. My oboist friend from my quintet claims (idle boasts?) to know which orchestra ...
Dear all, I was just browsing the updated schedule for this year's IDRS Conference, and didn't seem to find an entry for the North American French Bassoon...
dear wai kit and friends, yes, sorry to say a combination of factors made it impossible for some NAFBQ players to attend the conference after all. as i had...
Dear Chuck, It's a pity that the quartet cannot make it there this time. Looks like Ludovic Tissus will be our (French bassoon) sole representative at this...
hi wai kit, i am assuming buffet (selmer, too, i hope) may bring instruments, but i have not confirmed this. we can check the conference website. glad you will...
I suggest sending some e-mails to Buffet so that they know there will be 'bassonists' in Birmingham. Ian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I wish it were that simple. Back in early January, when it became obvious that Tissus is the only French system player on the B:ham programme, I sent an e-mail...
chers amis, thanks to various among you for the encouragement to contact Buffet. i emailed this morning and received what is below, confirming that bassons...
dear john, this topic has been discussed here before, you can be sure! 2 members of this group sell reeds, larry ibisch and lewis dann (i think i have that...
Chuck, I will probably order some from various sources including you if you have the time. I started ordering my Heckelphone reeds form Pro Reeds a while back...
Hola buenas, I ordered five reeds for trial from Pro Reeds, Germany, in March 2007 and paid EUR 116.50 including postage. They were all fairly hard (good) cane...
hi andy, john, and friends, i was hoping you would chime in, andy. when i looked at the pro reeds link which you, john, provided, i did not manage to find a...
Hola amigos, 1. After clicking around on www.proreed.de you will (hopefully) end up in their online www.kreedo.de/shop where you will find under frz.basson two...
This is very disappointing, but I look forward to meeting those of you who can attend the conference, as well as trying some new instruments, courtesy of...
Can anyone tell me if Buffett and Selmer are the only two makers of French bassoon today. If I were in the market for a new instrument who would I contact? ...
