Replacing a bassoon's ivory bell ring
Просмотров 5976 месяцев назад
The removal of an ivory bell ring may be painful to watch, but under international and UK law this bassoon cannot be sold or taken across international borders with the original ivory still in place. Being made after 1975, unfortunately this bassoon is ineligible for exemption from the ban on trade in, or international movement of, ivory which applies just to items made before 1975. In this vid...

Sounding length of a contrabassoon!
Просмотров 5128 месяцев назад
The sounding length of a contrabassoon! We're currently overhauling a contrabassoon in our workshop, and thought it would be interesting lay out the joints end to end and see the full length of the instrument. This is how long it would be without any bends - our tape measure wasn't long enough!

Sleeving a bassoon bore
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
A quick snapshot of the process of sleeving a moisture damaged bassoon bore using our CNC machinery - we remove the affected wood, and make a hard rubber sleeve which matches exactly the dimensions of the original bore. The CNC machine allows us to quickly cut the correct taper. The rubber is impervious to moisture, so this repair will last as long as the instrument itself. Some bassoons are ma...
Replacing a Heckel bassoon boot socket liner
Просмотров 492Год назад
Replacing a Heckel boot socket liner - the socket liner on this bassoon had previously come out, and was then glued in place at the wrong depth. When it comes to the acoustics and longevity of a top tier professional bassoon, what may seem like a small issue actually amounts to quite a big one. The liner no longer reached the bottom of the socket, leaving a gap between the metal and the wood. T...

We’re currently overhauling a rare rosewood Heckel 9000 series bassoon - has anyone ever seen one before? This is one of only a small handful of rosewood (palisander) bassoons Heckel ever made. The woodgrain pattern is completely different to maple - there are no tiger stripes, and the grain lines are uniform, tight and straight. Rosewood is denser than maple, and more impervious to water, but ...
