Product Description

The Rudall Carte bassoon was a popular student bassoon of the time and would suit a new player; manufactured in the Czech Republic in the 1980s, it was also available at the time under the B&H400/Amati brand. 

23 key

Nickel plate

Condition Description

Following its service by our woodwind technician, the instrument is fully functional and blows very well. The mechanical condition is excellent, with the key-work being robust and its action smooth.

There is a moderate level of cosmetic wear, which is most apparent on the metal components: a combination of acid wear, scratching, tarnish and water marks has dulled the key-work and ferrules significantly. The wooden body of the bassoon is in noticeably better condition, as is often the case: wear is limited to a number of small nicks and indents, so the overall appearance is neat. The seventh photo shows the most significant wear on the instrument - the wood has a series of chips along the edge, where the wing joint wraps around the bass joint, and there is water damage around one of the tone holes.

The supplied Tom and Will gig bag is brand new. It has always been kept in a smoke-free environment, and is free from unwanted odours.

It was founded by Trevor Austin (father of Paul) who was previously a euphonium player in the Horse Guards (and played on horseback at the Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953). Following long service in the Salvation Army as a player and conductor, his reputation led to requests to supply instruments around the UK and overseas. Rosehill is now led by Trevor's son Paul. The company was awarded a UK government contract in 1999, and since then has been an approved supplier of musical instruments to Her Majesty's military bands. We also repair, refurbish and service all brass band and military band instruments at our workshops in Beaconsfield. As well as drawing customers from all over the UK, we also supply many instruments to bands and players overseas.
