Fox Renard Artist Model 240 Bassoon

The Fox Renard 240 is one of our most popular bassoon models!

Fox Renard Artist bassoons are the ideal bassoons for serious young players across the US. They are also perfect options for hobbyists and other non-professional enthusiasts. Their even, consistent scales make them usable by even the youngest players, and their tone quality sets them apart from the competition. Their combination of quality and affordability blows the competition away.

The Renard Artist Model 240 is an intermediate-level, wooden instrument. The 240 bassoons feature a select, aged Black Maple body. The 240 takes its design cues from the Model 201, a professional-level short bore instrument. This bassoon retains the bore length and wall thickness. As a result, it is a great option for an intermediate or advancing player. The warm tone, even intonation, and easy response are hallmarks of the 240. The short bore also allows for superb projection, making the 240 the ideal choice for college players all over the country. Like all Fox bassoons, this instrument has silver plating on all key work.

The 240 comes fully equipped with professional key work. This includes high D and E keys, as well as a whisper key lock. Rollers are also included on the little finger keys for both hands, as well as rollers for the right thumb for Bb and F#.
