Eric Moulder
and Tony Millyard have combined their research and manufacturing facilities
to develop Baroque Bassoons at A=415hz. After
a number of years of research and development we have produced two instruments
which we are pleased to offer.

Denner Bassoon
A faithful
and accurate copy of J C Denner's bassoon at its original pitch of A=415hz,
now in the Brussels conservatoire - #427. Johann Christoph Denner was active
as an instrument maker in Nurnburg from around 1678 until his death in 1707,
so this instrument is one of the earliest examples of a Baroque Bassoon.
The Denner is excellent for
playing the baroque repertoire and has a strong and rich tone.

Rottenburgh Bassoon
H Rottenburgh
Based
on J H Rottenburgh's four keyed bassoon in Brugges - Number M56, this instrument
is thought to have originally been made around 1735. Joannes Hyacinthus Rottenburgh
was active as an instrument maker in Brussels between 1700 and 1775.
This instrument has a narrower long joint and a slightly softer tone than
the Denner bassoon and is well suited to playing baroque music within both
orchestral and chamber settings.
