The fine item you are considering is a Vintage 1958 Fox Model 2 Wood Bassoon With Reeds & Case. This well made vintage bassoon by Fox is in overall well cared for condition and I see no signs of breakage or abuse. The bassoon has a serial number of 470, which dates it to 1958 and which identifies it as a Model 2. The included bocal bears the Fox logo and is marked with a "2" and a "C". The instrument shows typical signs of age and wear with some oxidation on some parts, and being v...intage, as with all vintage wind instruments, I cannot guarantee the condition of the pads. The bassoon comes with the original case and the case of reeds as shown in my photos and a crutch (not pictured). The cork was a little stiff when I assembled the instrument, so I didn’t join the parts completely together for my photos as it would have been a chore to get them apart again (you can cure this with some cork grease) but at least this lets you know that everything joins firmly together. Please see my photos to have a look at this nice item. Winning bidder/buyer pays $54.00 shipping and insurance in the contiguous U.S., plus $4.00 for packing materials (bubble wrap) with shipping to Alaska and Hawaii most likely costing more (if you are in Alaska or Hawaii, please contact me for a shipping estimate). Foreign bidders/buyers pay costs as per eBay's Global Shipping Program. We now accept PayPal. Due to the large amount of items I now auction, I can unfortunately no longer allow in person pick up of items. My return policy is that returns are only accepted if I made a mistake in the listing, not disclosing a serious issue with the item, in other words, if the item is substantively different than as described in my listing.Thanks for looking, and happy bidding/buying!
