Well, I have never played a contrabassoon, or any bassoon for
that matter, before, but this reasonable entry-level price is enough
incentive for me to learn! I'll buy it and then try and find a
teacher! Heck, maybe the Seller has two of them, and I can buy
one for a back-up instrument.

P.S. - did you know that a drum machine is a back-up instrument?
Everytime I hear one I want to back my car up over it!
> For anyone looking to burn $45K quickly, there's a Heckel
contrabassoon on eBay:

Subject: [CB] Another Contrabass Movie Moment:
It's in "Rollerball", with the 32' pedal in the Bach Toccata and
Fugue in D Minor.
Saw that in its initial theatrical release and not since, but
who can forget those pedal tones? Especially when your fillings are
loosening.

Hey Blaise!
That's a awesome that you asked LA Sax people to reproduce the
STRAIGHT BARI!!! I hope to get one but you know.. out of budget.. Well,
I'm going to wait for next time.
Anyway, thank you for sharing with us and hope a lot of people
are interested and buy one.
Good luck!
