Okay, I swear I took photos today, but my memory card on my phone has been acting strange. It might play very well, despite being of untraceable origin. So my guess is that it's a refinished Soviet block factory bassoon. It's very weird to see so many rollers without a whisper key. Some of those bassoons actually played quite well, although they've all had the Eb key and a whisper key as well as other options. The Puchner name was used frequently by counterfeiters in the 1950's era soviet block. I've seen a few instrument that look like this with the 'Puchner' name on them, although they're not real Puchners.
If so, that would explain the lack of stamp: any stamp on the bell might have been sanded out (intentionally or not) when the wood was being prepped for the new lacquer. It looks like the bassoon has been refinished somewhat recently. Honestly, the value will probably depend more on how it plays, the condition it is in and the bocals you have with it more so than whatever brand it happens to be, unless it is a Heckel (unlikely since you don't see a stamp).
Is there any stamping at all on any joint? There's lots of stamps listed in Wil Jansen's book. They were stamped Schreiber, but didn't have serial numbers. There were fake copy Schreibers made roughly post-WWII era. It should pop off easily if you pull it carefully (don't put pressure on any keys while doing it). Due to the very good response and the optimal key work positioning, this contra bassoon is a excellent choice for any musician.Īre you sure there is no serial number? The serial number is almost always underneath the metal boot joint cap (the bit that the seat strap attaches to). Schreiber contra bassoon Schreiber contra bassoons are an enrichment for the bassoon section of an orchestra. This list is not correct for Conn brass instruments such as cornets and trumpets. That includes saxophones, clarinets, flutes, piccilos, oboes and bassoons. This page contains a list of Conn serial numbers for woodwind instruments.
