Heckel 13427

I’m selling my Heckel bassoon (serial n. 13427), bought it new in 1990. It's been my professional companion for two decades when I played principal bassoon at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari (Italy). After retiring, I continued to enjoy it in ensemble work and solo concerts. It has always been cared for with great attention. It's in excellent condition. It has never had repairs or replaced parts. It features a body lock, the original ivory bell ring, and the tone holes with channels. This model does not include a high E key. The keywork is original silver. Included are two Heckel bocals, a CC1 and a CD0, and the original Heckel case. I’m no longer playing, and I would love for it to go to a musician who will appreciate it as much as I have.
