I'm in the market for a new bassoon! I have four scheduled for trials so far. This Leitzinger Professional Model II is the first of the series.
I will continue to play this instrument and will make another comparison video of fundamentals without all the chit-chat.
Share your thoughts on what you hear.

Also, after posting the original video, Mr. Leitzinger contacted me directly to explain that the instrument had been traveling on exhibition and was likely very far out of adjustment by the time I received it. I met him and played on this exact instrument at IDRS 2019 in Tampa and found the instrument to be completely different. I played on the same Model II I had trialed in this video at the conference for about 20 minutes. It was by no means an exhaustive trial but clearly indicated that the instrument was not at peak performance when I had it on trail. You can learn more about these instruments and set up trials from U.S.-based Leitzinger artist, Frank Morelli. [ Ссылка ]
