BASSOON S 2000 PLUS

Only specially selected woods are used for S 2000 plus bassoons:

• Highly-figured flamed maple (S 2000 plus) and
• Bird’s eye maple (S 2000 plus V)

These different woods give each instrument a unique tone quality. The wood is put through a special immersion process to improve the resonance. The bores of the wing joint and the narrow side of the boot joint are fully lined, and completely protected from moisture. The surface of the body is finished with a durable matt-finish synthetic lacquer.

The keywork is designed for comfort and has the following features:

• The conventional mechanism is replaced with our patented, wear-free bearing system (LCBearing system), which is permanently free of rattles and does not require readjustment
