Hello Gerald Corey (and the list), Thanks for your comments about second-space bass-clef C. Your comments and Peter Blandino's corroborate what I've been...
If I remember correctly, this bocal was posted on e-Bay last year, with no bids. I'm new to the French bassoon world, so I have a question that reflects my...
As far as I know, all bocals for French system bassoons, whether Buffet or Selmer, have little or no nipple. The thing I wondered about this bocal was that...
