The Renard
Artist Model 240
Description
Introduced in 1994, the Renard 240 (short bore) features a tone quality
that is more "open" than the long bore. It is voiced to permit
the performer to open up and "sing" in solo register, and its
tone quality lends itself to solo performance. Frequently chosen by aspiring
bassoonists, it has also been utilized in symphony orchestras around the
world.
Red Maple, selected for tone quality, 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

Metal tubes extending into the bore in the finger holes of the wing joint
to prevent water from entering the tone holes. All spring posts are locked
with screws.
