The bassoon was as described and very playable "as is." Case was in great shape and despite some weird shipping issues, arrived relatively quickly (not the seller's fault). Packing was secure and sturdy and for little over $3,000, is a diamond in the rough, considering bassoons.

Bassoon came in good playing condition, with only a minor issue with the body lock - this will be an easy replacement. The seller is an excellent communicator and checked on the delivery status of the instrument throughout transit!

Reunion Blues Folding Clarinet or Flute Stand RBXS-CFL Sturdy!

Proper stand for protecting instrument
The stand is very stable and sturdy. I can place the clarinet on it and not worry about it tipping over. I do not play in any ensemble groups, so I don't have any experience with it in regular rehearsals/performance situations. I know from past experiences with bassoon and contrabassoon stands, that it is worth the effort to carry a bulky stand to have a secure place to set the instruments down in an upright position to avoid getting condensation into tone holes and pads wet which happens when placing a woodwind instrument across one's lap or chair. Having a good stand is worth the money and the effort to bring it along for breaks.
The Way of Cane The Science, Craft, and Art of Bassoon Reed-making 9780190919627

Not a "how to" book, but rather a "why"
The author never claims that his experience is the ultimate methods for bassoon reed making. His suggestions all seem to guide the reader into being open minded and trying anything that seems logical or worth the time and effort to try. He also warns that any alteration is given multiple attempts to be sure that a good or bad result is not the cane, but the benefit of the alteration. He shares a long and successful career of reed making in this well organized narrative, which most bassoon reed makers can find familiar experiences to their own histories.
