Hi Charles, Welcome to the frenchbassoon group! I too was in touch with the seller months ago and was discouraged when I saw the photos. I thought $1000 was...
I started teaching myself French bassoon, as a hobby, last year. I have a number of questions that I will post on this website. My first question (which I...
The seller from Hong Kong seems like a nice fellow. I really felt bad when I told him that I wasn't interested in his instrument after all. It's ironic,...
