Fox Renard 51 Short-reach Bassoon

Fox Renard bassoons are the instruments of choice for both students and teachers across the US. Their even, consistent scales make them usable by even the youngest players, and their tone quality sets them apart from the competition. Their combination of quality and affordability blows the competition away.

The Renard Model 51 is a polypropylene instrument. As a result, the design emphasizes accessibility, practicality, and durability. The 51, in particular, has many modifications for younger players or those with small hands. The tone quality, however, is not sacrificed to account for smaller reach. Like all Fox bassoons, this instrument has silver plating on all key work.

Additional Features

The 51 features a plateau key for the left hand third finger; additionally, it does not have a thumb Ab key on the boot. This instrument also lacks high D and E keys. These missing keys allow the instrument more affordability and accessibility, but it is not ideal for more advanced players.

This bassoon comes with a Fox C2 and C3 bocal. It also comes in a Tutti Fagotti case.
