We received another email about an apparent attempted scam:

Dear Bassoon.org,
 
    My case was similar to the one you have posted on your site. The "buyer" sent me a cashiers check for more than the cost of the bassoon, asking that I send the difference via Western Union to the "shippers". Once I had the check and deposited he became very demanding and all of a sudden it was urgent that I act on getting the money to the "shipper" immediately. First the "shipper" was in LA then he called me very early one morning to say that the shipper was out of town and could not pick up the money and could I change the name and location to someone in the Netherlands where the instrument was to be shipped as well. Western Union has an incredible fraud department and they caught this as I was standing at the counter. Watch out for any money that needs to be sent to the Netherlands or Nigeria was their advise, it is almost always fraud and never recommended. Since they caught it in time I was able to get all of my money back and called my bank to discover that the check had come up bad and been taken out of my account that morning.
   Hopefully this will help others watch out for the same thing.

 

Also this email:

 

"I have may instrument listed on the site and wanted to make you aware of a scam. I was contacted by a <email address> to purchase my listed instrument.  He advised that he would send me a check for the instrument and provided shipping instructions. This sounded simple enough.

 

However, he emailed me and said that the check was for $2500 more than the agreed to price and he asked if I would wire him the difference! I received his check that was postmarked from England; drawn on a NY state bank with a Florida address. Dubious at best! Needless to say the check did not clear.

 

Fortunately, I did not send him the instrument (it was to be shipped to <USA city>) or any money. I just wanted to make you and others aware of this scam."

 

We continue to receive occasional notices from folks who feel that they have been contacted by someone not completely honest.  Buyer/seller beware! 

 

Some recent e-mails have recommended Paypal; Bassoon.org has no connection with Paypal.

Polypropylene Bassoon made by Fox that has the Conn name/stamp/stencil on it and is the same as the model III (3). It is a long bore design with many extras: High D, High E, 13 rollers, low C thumbplate, crutch, plateau key for left third finger for easier reach, 2 Fox bocals- hand selected, and decent original case. Truly a beautiful bassoon in every respect. I believe this to be from the late 70's or early 80's. Pictures available. Asking  $3,250.00 US and I my consider an offer or a trade/offer. Also, 2 plastic Linton Bassoons that are in playing condition but need attention to be in top shape. $ 650.00 each or I will consider an offer for both. Lastly-An old Schreiber bassoon that I had to dust the cobwebs off of to see what it was. It was refinished years ago and still looks good. It does play, but it needs attention to be a nice player. I will consider offers on this one. Email me at rlu44@sbcglobal.net THANKS!!!!

Fox 601 For Sale


 
I am selling a Fox 601, Serial #19655.  Included is a Heckel C1XL unplated bocal and a Fox Pro case.

 
This bassoon was played professionally before I owned it as an undergraduate study.  It has a huge, ringing sound and a great scale.  It has many standard features, like the high D and E keys, as well as rollers on the pinky keys, from low C to low D, and from the whisper key to the C# key.  It also has a few more unique features, like the balance hanger and "belly bumper" for easier playing while standing, and the G# ring, which simpifies many high note fingerings.  Additional information on the G# ring can be found here:

          Restore Buffet for Sale
 
 
Restored Buffet French system hard rubber bassoon probably dating from the 1920s. Classic 35L key configuration. Has had two tenon repairs on the bottom of the wing and the bass joint a metal sleeve has been inserted. Very good repair job. Plays very well, tunes to A-440, good intonation, nice tone quality does not have quite as much resonance as a wood bassoon. Modern Buffet bocal well matched to the instrument is included. The serial number of this bassoon is 262 and does not include the letter R either before or after the serial number. I have tried to find out the history of these instruments without success. I have heard that Buffet made some bassoons of rubber for South America or Latin America due to climate condidtions. Rubber was used by instrument manufacturers before plastic came in. The case is a Lifton case in excellent condition that has beeen modified  to fit a French bassoon. It has a case cover on which is painted a Toulouse-Lautrec line drawing of Desire' Dihau. Will ship worldwide with addition shipping. The instrument is heavier than a wood bassoon plus the case is also heavy. It is a very good French bassoon!  Price $900 plus shipping.

Title: Popkin Bassoon/Contrabassoon Cane Profiler, Reiger Tip Profiler for sale.
 
I have a Popkin bassoon/contrabassoon cane profiler that has treated me well. The profiler may be in need of a slight adjustment, though it is working just fine for myself. New Popkin profilers are selling for $1250, asking price is $950. 
I have a Reiger tip profiler available, which is need of adjustment (The mandrel and plaque aren't lining up at the moment, it isn't a fine-tuning adjustment that is needed.) Though the value of these are currently at $1,800, my asking price is negotiable since the purchaser may have to have the profiler adjusted by Reiger.
