Before coming to MMI, this contrabassoon was played professionally and received an overhaul by us. Although it's an older instrument, the contrabassoon sports a terrific, warm tone and is easy to play in all registers. It seals very well and has two bell options: the regular bell that only plays notes down to low C, and a symphony bell that extends to low A. Even with the low A bell (which is optional), the entire instrument fits nicely in this relatively compact case. This is a result of the bells being detachable.

This instrument rents for $150 per week. If you would like to rent it for a longer period of time, we can also offer a special rate of $550 a month.

Have an audition? Getting your contra repaired? Ordering an instrument but have a gig in the meantime? This contrabassoon is great for any of those situations!
