Hi,

I like to ask a few matters.
Firstly, I will be going to Germany this June.
Can I find out if anyone knows good bassoon music shops in Germany?
Specifically I will heading to Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Rostock, Bremen, Berli
n, Weimar.
But if there are really good shops in other places I do not mind travelling
there since I will be getting a Bahn card (rail card).
Can you provide me with any website link or any comprehensive list of all G
erman music shops?

I would like to look into cheap carrying bags for hard cases since I am buy
ing Puchner bassoon with hard K-case in June.
I would also like to find nice 8 pieces or more reed cases as I can seems t
o fill up my many reeds.
I like to look for gouged and shaped canes, reed making tools, and a neck s
trap.

One more last thing, I will be taking my auditions to different schools in
Germany this June/July.
However I would like to visit some bassoon professors in Germany and learn
from them.
Ignoring the fact I will be going to be still visiting some professors, who
else should I really meet for a good one-time bassoon lesson?
Do let me know early so that I can get contacts from the specific schools t
o call the professor.

Thank you for any help and I hope someone replies to me or the list.

Regards,
Daniel
