A Fox Renard 242D bassoon for sale; this is a 2010 model.
The Fox Renard 242D is similar to the 222D model, except the 242D has a slightly wider bore which adds increased flexibility to the sound and improved projection.
The sound and build quality of the 242D bassoon are first class; they rarely come up for sale second hand, so this is a great chance to buy one in virtually as-new condition at an affordable price.
This bassoon features:
- Warm, free blowing sound
- As always with Fox, very solid intonation
- Varnish in good condition with the usual small dings you'd expect on a second hand bassoon
- Silver plating in good condition
- A good level of keywork including high D key, left thumb whisper key lock, four rollers, two trills, alternate F#-G#-Bb keys
- German-silver lined finger holes extending into the bore to aid against bubbling
- French-style bell ring
- Two Fox crooks - CVX double star 2 and 3 lengths
- Hard case with back straps
