Wolf Fg5 Mini Bassoon

The Wolf Fg5 is a wonderful little instrument! Intended for use by 7-9 year olds, this instrument allows a young student to learn the bassoon before they can wield a full-size instrument. Although intended for use by children, adults can still do a lot with these instruments.

Fingerings for this instrument are equivalent to bassoon fingerings but please bear in mind that it is a transposing instrument. This bassoon is pitched in G. When reading bassoon music, the sounding pitch will be a fifth higher than the notes being read.

We recognize that it makes less sense for parents to purchase an instrument like when they will eventually be switching to a full bassoon. As a result, this bassoon is up for rent. We highly recommend finding a bassoon teacher before starting your child on one of these instruments.

There is only one Fg5 in our program at this time. Please call for availability if you are interested! This is a new program so we will try to accommodate people's needs.

This bassoon is protected by a "Lupobag" bassoon case specially designed for the mini bassoons. It comes with one bocal, a swab, and a neck strap. Regular bassoon reeds work on this bassoon! No special reeds necessary, although a smaller reed would be more optimal for performance.
