Description
Introduced in 1971, the Renard Model 222 bassoon's long bore design can be
identified by its very warm "round" tone, with even balance and
excellent intonation throughout the entire range. The reasonable price and
durable wooden body make this instrument a popular choice for new bassoonists
and school music programs looking to add a wooden bodied instrument to their
bassoon section.
Body
Maple, selected for maximum durability and naturally aged in our own facilities.
Durable synthetic linings in the wing joint and small bore of the boot joint.
German bell (white ring). Body lock.
Finish
Acrylic Enamel
Mechanism
Nickel silver keys with silver plating. Full German system. High D key. Plateau
key on wing joint third finger hole. Rollers on F, A(flat), E(flat), and D(flat).
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.
