Nobel - NB2A Bassoon

Description

Nobel Instruments specializes in high-quality, feature-rich and affordable double reed instruments for the classroom, using innovations in new materials to produce instruments with excellent tone and durability.

NB2A ABS Bassoon
Made to the specifications of professional instruments but offered at a fraction of the price- the Nobel NB2A ABS bassoon is perfect for students and hobbyists alike. Each instrument is made from injection-molded durable ABS plastic, ensuring every instrument is made to its exact dimensions. ABS is ideal for students as it extremely durable and resists warping and cracking, unlike wood-body instruments.

Keywork
The NB2A features full professional silver-plated keywork, including high D and E keys, left hand whisper-lock and left-hand C ring-key. An optional C plateau key is included to facilitate easier fingerings for smaller hands.

Accessories
Nobel bassoons include everything you need to care for your instrument: 3 cloths, including a polishing cloth, a weighted-end swab for the bass and tenor (wing) joint as well as a weighted-end swab for the boot-joint. Other accessories include a hand crutch, cup-style leather seat-strap, easy to install/remove balance hanger, and two well-matched bocals (#2 and #3) with individual protective nylon pouches. The Mistral bassoon comes in a lightweight, nylon backpack case with storage pockets.
