Lark M4010 Bassoon - 20 Key Student Instrument - Serviced - With Case, 2 Crooks & Bird

Description

Used Lark M4010 bassoon, manufactured in China. A solid student/beginner instrument suitable for learning, teaching, or as a spare instrument.

The bassoon has been recently serviced prior to listing. It is fully airtight and in good working order.

I have owned this instrument for over 30 years. It took me up to Grade 6 and has also been used on tour. It has since been used as a teaching instrument, and is now surplus to requirements.

This would make an excellent beginner bassoon or teaching instrument.
