Hello,
I am a frequent visitor of the clarinet board, but this is my first time posting here.

I was given a Polisi Standard bassoon for evaluation on possible repair/restoration.
The bassoon is in poor condition and is not playable (as far as I can tell, I do small repairs on clarinets).
It was owned by a band mate, an old gentleman, who recently passed away.
His son took his "good" bassoon, and the widow showed me this Polisi bassoon, that was stored in the basement.
The instrument, in general, does not look too terrible but the pads are very old and the paint bubbled up.
The bocal is there, I am not sure about its fit. I did not see any cracks.
The widow would like to know "what can be done" with the instrument.

The s/n is in mid-200, pics are attached.

Any help is appreciated.
