    Description

    Very nice well kept lightly used and stored more than used Accent BN590R BASSOON.  These are very hard to find and even harder to acquire recently.  Case has one broken latch but still works and functions fine with soft outer case to seal it as well.
    Very nicely kept condition as shown.  No bocal included but everything else included as shown.  A fantastic instrument with huge savings from the new price tags.

    Accent's student-model bassoon is designed to help new bassoonists cope with the unique challenges of playing the bassoon. This bassoon has an ABS composition body which adapts well to all climate conditions while retaining superior tone production. The short-reach plateau key on the 3rd finger hole decreases the “stretch factor” and the specially designed left-hand thumb keywork provides extra comfort for smaller hands. The F, Ab, Eb, Db rollers and D# trill key help with increased facility and fingering options and silver-plated, nickel-silver keys ensure long-lasting durability.
    Teachers and parents prefer Accent instruments because of their affordability and kid tough construction. Hard rubber body with nickel-silver keys.
    The bassoon is a woodwind instrument in the double reed family that plays music written in the bass and tenor clefs, and occasionally the treble. Appearing in its modern form in the 19th century, the bassoon figures prominently in orchestral, concert band, and chamber music literature.
    The bassoon plays the role of tenor and bass in the orchestral double reed section (the oboe and English horn play soprano and alto, respectively).
    Bassoons come in two sizes: the bassoon, and the double bassoon or contrabassoon, which sounds an octave lower than the bassoon.
    Early bassoons were made out of harder woods, but the modern instrument is typically made of maple.
    One of the precursors to the bassoon, the dulcian, was made out of a single piece of wood.
    A double reed is used to play the bassoon, which is made out of a cane called an
    arundo donax.
    The finishing of a reed varies between French and German bassoons: French reeds are beveled, whereas German reeds have a thicker spine down the center.
    Bassoons are made up of several parts including tenor or wing joint, the double or butt joint, the long or bass joint, the bell joint, and the crook or bocal.
    The “compact” version of the double bassoon stands at 122cm tall with a bore length of 5.5m.
    The modern contrabassoon is folded several times to make its great length more manageable. Although the fingering is largely similar to that of the bassoon, the toneholes are covered by keys acting on rod-axle mechanisms, which transmit the player’s finger motions efficiently over long spans.
    A mute is sometimes used in order to help play the instrument softly. The effect is made either by stuffing a piece of cloth into the bell of the instrument or using a sleeve-like metal cylinder.
    In the 20th century the use of the German bassoon gradually became more universal. The global standardization of the bassoon types in the 21st century has been brought on by the ever-increasing demands of conductors and recording producers for the power of sound, homogeneity and balance.
