Hi Robert,

What can you tell us about the Guntram Wolf Contra's and Bassoons?

My son is a budding young Bassoonist and we've talked about buying one from
the factory in Kronach as part of  a family vacation next summer.  Of course
playing it for a week or two makes it used at import as well <wink>!

BTW The EU pricing on the Contra is:

Price:
 

Contrabassoon (without case)	DM   32.500,00	€  16.617,00
Case	DM      1.500,00	€   767,00
Automatic octave	DM      2.000,00	€  1.022,50

Which at a 90 ¢/€  works out for a list of USD $16,600

We're actually in the market for a Bassoon (how can I talk him out of the
Tiger option though - please!!).

Thank you,

Steve
