The Renard
Artist Model 220
Description
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. Like all
long bore designs, it features an intonation guarantee that makes it very
popular with students and schools.
Body
Black Maple, selected for tone and durability, naturally aged in our own
facilities. Natural rubber linings in the wing joint and small bore of the
boot joint. French bell (metal ring). Body lock.
Finish
Acrylic Enamel
Mechanism
Nickel silver keys with silver plating. Full German system with additional
high D and E keys. Ring key for wing joint third finger hole. Right hand
whisper key lock. Rollers on F, A(flat), E(flat), D(flat), right thumb
B(flat), and F(sharp), in combination with a crowned E key. B(flat) guard.
Metal tubes extending into the bore in the finger holes of the wing joint
to prevent water from entering the tone holes. All posts set in epoxy
and spring posts are locked with screws.
