Püchner Model 23 Bassoon

Püchner bassoons feature in orchestras all over Europe, and have a renewed following in the US. The wood, curly mountain maple, ages for over 20 years in their workshop. The new bore design, which is the same among all of Püchner's models, is thick-walled and allows for greater projection and volume without sacrificing tone quality or flexibility. The keys feature silver plating. All Püchner bassoons possess full professional key work: high D and E keys, rollers for both little fingers and the right thumb, and a left-hand whisper key lock.

Additional Features

In addition, the Model 23 features: Ab-Bb trill key, Eb trill key for the left hand, and rollers for the left thumb. The wing joint has a rubber lining, and the boot joint also has this lining through most of the bore. The key work boasts nylon-lined pivot screw sockets, which makes the key action very smooth and silent. The tone holes also contain Sterling silver linings.

The Model 23 has additional options: it comes in two possible finishes, Antique and Traditional (Dark Red). We stock both the standard cut model and the compact version.

The Model 23 boasts excellent intonation, projection, and response. It comes with 2 Püchner bocals: a CC1 and CC2. We also exchange any other Püchner bocals in stock at no additional charge. This bassoon also comes with a Marcus Bonna case and a 2-year, 1-service adjustment warranty with purchase.
