FG-10 manufactured by Harada Gakki Seizo Goudou Kaisha Purchased in 2021/9 at the pre-price increase price of ¥363,000. For reference, the current model is ¥495,000. This is a bassoon that can be played at A=442Hz. (This is not something you often see written for a low-priced instrument, so I'll note it.) It is also equipped with a full set of keys and has a balancer hole. The joint connections are thread-wrapped. A rare, low-priced bassoon that can be played at A=442Hz. (The shop owner's first instrument was a German brand, Sonore, which cost around ¥850,000, but this is much easier to play!) It has many key features, including rollers for the right thumb and left and right pinky fingers, and a balancer, making it an easy-to-play bassoon. The tone is soft, but it has a certain volume like the old German-made instruments. This model is the same model that our shop manager currently uses in the orchestra. Also, speaking of specialized bassoon fingering, This bassoon allows the use of the Eb fingering using the left middle finger. The joints are thread-wrapped, making it easy to adjust the tightness. The included semi-hard case is a backpack type. Two bocals are included. The playing feel is stable at 442, and it is easy to play without any stuffiness or blockage. Recommended for those who are not particular about the manufacturer's name. Accessories Semi-hard case, swab, cloth, strap, etc. I am selling this as I am retiring. It will be wrapped in bubble wrap for shipping.
