I was targeting $1,000. I have purchased many used instruments for my children: a clarinet for Anne ($50), two trombones for Tom ($100 and $300), a trumpet for Ellie ($250), and an oboe for Anne ($850).
It's sticker shock to be looking at bassoons. I actually found two bassoons that were $1,000, but one was sold before I could look at it and the other one was so old that not even the bassoon specialist at Fox said I should buy it.
It turns out that Anne will get a nice bassoon next year at school, so I'm really looking long term for her. I may resort to pawn shops and craigslist only and just be patient...
Ron, the feature list you gave me is very helpful. What exactly do they mean, however?
One of her teachers said she is a student who comes along once every ten years. I'd like to reward all her hard work by getting her a decent instrument.
