For sale is a Fox Model IV in great condition! This high quality resonite bassoon is made in the USA by Fox, one of the premier bassoon makers in the world. This instrument has standard keywork including a high D key. The pads are in great condition because we have just finished overhauling this instrument and replaced the pads in the process. It now plays cleanly and evenly up and down. This is a great starter bassoon, and because of the high quality fox design, you will find that it will play better than many lesser quality wooden ones. One standard bocal is included with the instrument. From a cosmetic perspective, the instrument is in very good condition, but the plastic body has scratching and small dings around the instrument from use over the years. The plating is in nice condition, but has spotty wear on many of the keys, especially where the fingers make contact with the metal as well as in other locations. Overall though, it has held up well and is clean and shiny throughout most of the instrument. That said, the photos speak for themselves. This instrument plays great, and looks great. The case is a New Protec case. Also included is a silk swab, seat strap, hand crutch, and reed. Please ask any questions about this instrument, we are happy to help.
We actually fix the instruments we sell! Unlike many sellers on eBay who claim not to know anything about the instruments they are selling, we are woodwind specialists with decades of combined experience. We care about how all our instruments sound and play, and our feedback record reflects that. We professionally adjust, overhaul, and clean up all instruments that we sell to insure you the highest quality musical instruments available on eBay. This process takes hours for each individual horn and would normally cost several hundred dollars at your local music shop. This 10+ point process means replacing worn and damaged pads, adjusting the position of leaky pads to seal properly, adjusting and replacing damaged springs, making sure the instrument is regulated to play all alternate fingerings, replacing loose cork connectors, instrument cleaning, oiling, playtesting, and steralizing the instrument.
You can be assured that when you receive the instrument it will be in top playing condition. We are so confident that you will not only enjoy, but love your new instrument that we offer a 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee on all our instruments. If you are not satisfied in any way with your purchase, return the instrument for a full refund minus shipping.
