Choosing the right bassoon is about far more than selecting a brand. Every instrument has its own character, response and tone, and finding the one that suits your playing is an important part of your musical journey.
At Tempest Music, we offer a carefully selected range of student, intermediate and professional bassoons from respected makers known for their craftsmanship, reliability and musical performance. Whether you’re purchasing your very first instrument, upgrading for examinations or youth orchestra, or investing in a professional bassoon, we’ll help you compare your options and find the instrument that feels right for you.
Unlike buying online, you’ll have the opportunity to play test different instruments side by side, compare their response and tone, and take home the exact bassoon you’ve chosen—not simply another one from a box.
As Perth’s specialist music store since 1979, we believe every musician has their own sound. Our role is to help you discover the instrument that allows you to find it.
If you’re unsure where to begin, we’re always happy to provide honest, experienced advice and can also recommend qualified bassoon teachers to help you get the most from your instrument.
Having performed professionally and taught bassoon for over 40 years, I understand how personal the relationship between a musician and their instrument becomes. That’s why we encourage every player to compare several instruments and choose the one that truly feels right.
