Model 41
Renard Polypropylene Bassoon
Description
Originally introduced in 1965, the Renard Model 41 bassoon's long bore
design can be identified by its very warm "round" tone, with
even balance and excellent intonation throughout the entire range.
The reasonable price, the secure acoustical design (and the intonation
guarantee that come with it), along with the durable body, make this
a very popular choice for school music programs and beginning bassoonists.

Body lock.
Mechanism

Additional High D key available as an option. Plateau key on wing
joint third finger hole. Rollers on F, A(flat), E(flat), and D(flat).

joint to prevent water from entering the tone holes. All posts set
