Overview
A student or working player moving to a durable plastic body gets the full Heckel system here, with a high D key and a plateau C on the third finger of the wing joint. Trill keys and rollers are also fitted.
The long key list is the reason to look, and the plastic body is a material choice for durability. The limit is information: nothing is said about the bocal, case or reeds, and the key given as A needs confirming.
Who it's for
A player or school program wanting a durable bassoon with a full set of keys and rollers will find the list comprehensive. A buyer who needs a case, bocal or reeds listed should ask first.
