Subj: Re: [DR-L] Bassoon topic
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 12:53:44 -0400
Hi Jim,
I'm game and I am willing to spray myself with flame-pretardant.
I played both types of Yamahas a few years ago and I have owned both 201 and
601 Foxes. I have played the Moosman as well. I have not tried Wolf, recent
Puchners, nor others in the same category. I have played a lot of Heckels,
from 5000 to 14,000 series, and I still think, with one exception(a mid
7000) that my 9000 is the best bassoon I have ever played, including
Garfield's and Schoenbach's 7000 instruments. "best" can only relate to what
I personally want to feel and hear in my instrument, but so far the others
aren't even close. The best "off-brand" instrument I tried and actually
owned was a fairly recent Fox 201.
There; that should be enough kindling for some flames.
Herb
