We use 'ex demo' as a catch-all to include ex display, ex hire, ex demonstration instruments. They are graded into 2 categories - A and B. Both are mechanically sound. A grade are cosmetically close to new. B grade show more signs of previous use' and are priced accordingly. Our ex demo instruments are fully refurbished, low mileage and, while they may not be as shiny as their new counterparts, they still have a full 12 month guarantee against mechanical problems. They can be bought via the Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme to get the VAT off, making themselves an inexpensive way into the student market. Availability is limited, so please call to check we have stock.
Please note ex-demo instruments need to be set-up by the workshop before being sent out, so please allow a week for delivery

Excellent starter instrument with keywork specially designed to cater for smaller hands.
Comes in lightweight case with backpack straps. Recommended by Lyndon Hilling - Head of Woodwind & bassoon specialist - Northamptonshire Music Service
‘Short reach’ mechanism makes it easier for smaller hands to reach all the keys. It also comes with an adjustable spike for playing stability and comfort, along with a balancing arm. We've re-designed the bell so that the case is small and convenient to carry.
The keywork is heavily silverplated for durability and appearance - it is also very strong aiding the longevity and reliability of the bassoon.
A maple body gives the bassoon good tonal characteristics. And it has two crooks to aid personal tuning.
A perfect student bassoon!
