Bassoon for sale - Vintage German bassoon Reinhold Lange

This bassoon is, in my estimation, a superb vintage instrument that I do not recommend for everybody. For those wanting the tone-color of a circa 1900 � 1920 German instrument, a bassoon that�s similar to a pre-WW I Heckel and one that�s in a very good condition, this fine bassoon is recommended.
