Wolf Fg4 Children's Bassoon

The Wolf Fg4 is a wonderful little instrument! Intended for use by 8-11 year olds, this instrument allows a young student to learn the bassoon before they can wield a full-size instrument.

Fingerings for this instrument are equivalent to bassoon fingerings but please bear in mind that it is a transposing instrument. This bassoon is pitched in F. When reading bassoon music, the sounding pitch will be a fourth higher than the notes being read.

We recognize that it makes less sense for parents to purchase an instrument like this when they will eventually be switching to a full bassoon. As a result, this bassoon is available for rent, with some special considerations. You must already have a bassoon teacher lined up and they must be aware that this is not a full-size instrument.

There is only one Fg4 in our program at this time. Please call for availability if you are interested! This is a new program so we will try to accommodate people's needs.

This bassoon is protected by a "Lupobag" bassoon case specially designed for the children's bassoons. It comes with one bocal, a swab, and a neck strap. Regular bassoon reeds work on this bassoon! No special reeds necessary.
