The quart bassoon, also known as the "tenoroon", was able to survive sporadically until the 19th century, e.g. in military music. There is solo and ensemble literature from the 18th century, as well as modern compositions (written especially for our instruments). It sounds a fourth higher than the normal bassoon. It is also suitable as a children's bassoon for early instrumental instruction and also especially well for wind band music, because played in the treble clef, B-flat voices can be blown untransposed. In bass clef (transposed) modern bassoon fingerings apply.
Model Fg4 plus / Tiger with complete piano action.
Our bassoonini can be used in many different ways:
- as alto and tenor instrument in ensembles
- as a timbre in wind band music
- as bass in the recorder group
- as a solo instrument for historical and modern literature
- as a musical effect - optical and acoustic
- and of course as a children's instrument for early instrumental instruction
(the youngest quint bassoon student we know was 3 1/2 years old)
Due to our many years of experience with small bassoons, we were able to bring a new generation with perfect playing characteristics to the market. Our bassoons are made of sycamore maple with natural rubber lining like a normal bassoon. With a light embouchure with a normal bassoon reed, they are characterized by an even response with a full sound from the lowest to the highest notes. The tuning is stable in all registers with normal bassoon fingering (models Fg 4 and Fg 5).
