Independent comment:- PUCHNER BASSOON
 
This bassoon plays very nicely and has a good sound. It has been completely overhauled including re-padding and regulation of key heights and spring pressures. The only negative aspect is noticeable cracking and unevenness in the surface lacquer in some areas.
