Fox Renard Artist Model 220 Bassoon SN 7739 NICE

Introduced in 1972, the Renard 220 (long bore) can be identified by a very warm "round" tone, evenly balanced, with excellent intonation throughout the entire range. It is the most secure design and its tone quality fits well into both chamber music and orchestral bassoon parts. Fox is the best American maker of bassoons and oboes, and the 220 is their flagship model for the Renard line. Fox's manufacturing is excellent. Intonation is very good, action feels good, and these bassoons sound good enough to play in a youth, civic, or college orchestra. 

• Select red maple body with mahogany finish
• Silver-plated keys, posts, bands, and boot cap
• French bell ring (metal)
• Lining in wing joint and small bore of the boot
• Body lock
• Plastic hand rest
• Neck strap ring

This particular one dates from 1979. It has the high D key as well as the optional high E key. Instrument is in excellent playing condition.  It has just been cleaned, oiled, and adjusted in our shop. Some tech notes: this the finish on the bassoon keys shows some pitting. Please also note that this bassoon also had boot rot; it has been repaired in our shop and no longer affects playability. Here's a chance to get the number one bassoon in America for a lot less than new. Includes brand new Protec PB317 case and Fox CVX #2 bocal
