Oscar Adler 1361 Bassoon
The Oscar Adler 1361 Bassoon is a German-made orchestra model for advanced bassoonists looking for greater tonal depth, flexibility and a more comprehensive key system.
Made from long-seasoned flamed Bosnian maple, the 1361 combines traditional German bassoon craftsmanship with the response and tonal character required for advanced repertoire, orchestral playing and demanding ensemble work.
The 1361 represents a significant step up within the Oscar Adler range. Its more extensive keywork gives the player greater technical flexibility, while the carefully selected maple and quality construction support a rich, resonant sound across the registers.
Having performed professionally and taught bassoon for more than 40 years, I particularly value instruments that allow the player to develop their own sound rather than having to work against the instrument. The Oscar Adler 1361 offers an impressive combination of tonal quality, response and craftsmanship and is a model I am very comfortable recommending to advanced players.
