My Wife played the Basoon in high school,
& I'd like to find her one.
Can anyone help?

Doug - check with your local public/parochial schools (or colleges). They often have used instruments that they'll sell for fund raising.

2 words....pawn shop.


One more....eBay.
 
No help here but darling daughter played the bassoon in middle school - always swore it played the f*rt noises in the orchestra. Double reed people are er emm different anyway.

Once heard a musician speculate, "what would you do with a happy bassoon player?"
 
For the same reasons as Doug's wife, My wife wants an Oboe. They're not cheap!
Maybe someday.
 
Ebay and Craigslist.

Local symphonies.

Here's one! :banana:
 
Our family went through this with a clarinet. Be careful buying an older one that is too cheap. They do wear beyond repair. We were spending more on the annual repairs than the horn was worth. When a new one was purchased it had to be a wooden one for better sound. It is not safe to use a wooden one for marching band in freezing weather because it might crack, so a used plastic one came to live with us. Then she quit band! :cryin::wall:

Check the music shops that rent to the schools. They might have some used rental instruments.

Anyone want a clarinet shaped piece of sh*t? :banana:

Use it as part of the exhaust system, you could play "Rule Britannia" as you drive.

My brother is currently creating a little niche hobby business repairing woodwinds for the schools in his school board.
 
A local music store that had rentals recently went out of business. That's where I found my fiddle for a mere $40, with a bow.
I'll pass on the oboe for now, but thanks.
 
oh boy I thought at first you wanted a used baboon
