Heckel Contrabassoon Bocal

Heckel contrabassoon bocals are the highest quality bocals for the instrument. Similar to the bassoon bocals, the contra bocals have multiple bore types. Because contrabassoon designs vary between makers - much moreso than bassoons - finding a bocal that matches your instrument is likely a long process.

Specs

German silver is the base metal of our contra bocals. Silver is the default plating. Nickel plating is also no longer available. A special order is required for other metal or plating options.

Bore types:

C: Thick-wall, made of hard German silver.

CC: Thick-wall, made of soft German silver.
