Customizing your Bassoon

If it is a newly purchased bassoon or an older bassoon, the bassoon can be configured the way that you want, with your own keywork.

Bassoonists are often from a particular school of performance that require a particular instrument set up.

Most requested key additions can be found in the add keys section. Additional keys are listed in the trill key section.

Customization beyond these listings are also available. (inquire by telephone). Contrabassoon and Heckelphone customization is available.

These online listings are a sort of catalogue and should be used as a guide. Keywork can be complicated therefore: specific quotes are needed for particular requests.

To facilitate the timely repair of your bassoon please make an appointment by calling 206-523-4396, weekdays 9:00 to 5:00 PST, or via the contact page.

Your instrument will be the only one worked on during your appointment period.
