Thinking of improving the set up on your
current instrument?
Consider the following comments from a customer from NSW who plays a La Fleur bassoon:-
"The bocal arrived safely on Friday.
The intonation remained unchanged up to middle
C as you suggested it might.
The tone of the low notes are much the same.
The #C3 and #C4 had a very thin sound on the B
& H bocal but surprisingly they now have the same quality as their neighbours.
The tenor notes have undergone a remarkable
transformation, they were restricted and thin sounding, flat needing a fair
amount of effort to bring up to pitch with top G the very the highest I would
attempt in public.
When I played top G with the Puchner, it
scared me, it had so much power and resonance. After that there was a
reasonable tone up to B then C to Eb were notes I was playing for the very
first time.
Top E just a squeak after many attempts ( if I
opened the aperture a little more it might have helped but I wont need this
for a long while yet).
Piano attack is much more secure, the reed
seems to need less air to start vibrating.
All the notes speak more easily making the
instrument much easier to play.
The dynamic range has increased with more at
the forte end.
Finally the ring you mentioned is quite
noticeable I can actually feel it when playing.
So altogether a great improvement, like having
a new instrument."
