Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.comWow!
This is very interesting. Howarth of London is also doing a market survey
on their new mini-bassoon in G. Simple keywork only. To be launched later
this year. Moosman has one in F, quite compatible to a standard bassoon
keywork. Both are pricy.
Howarth's target list at over 1,300 pounds and the current price for the
Moosman on Giardinelli is $3,300.At $1,275, it makes sense for younger players.
It also have the potential as a recreational instrument, ensemble, recital etc...
How about carrying one on business trips! Hummmm....Stuart. Would you please let me know how I can get a catalogue on that.
Thanks
Joel

It's 30-1/4 inches in length, in the key of G and is supposedly for younger
bassoons. Surprisingly, it's only $1275.Just thought I'd share,
