Skip to Images.
For sale is a Fox Renard Model 222 Wood bassoon in nice condition with a Sturdy Hard Case and a Bocal. It is in the 13,000 serial number range. It plays extremely well. This high quality Wooden bassoon is made in the USA by Fox, one of the premier bassoon makers in the world. The instrument includes standard keywork and is suitable for the high level intermediate to advanced player. We have just finished overhauling this bassoon, and it now plays cleanly and evenly up and down. This is a great high end pre-professional bassoon. The Tenon wrappings in good condition. Cosmetically, this instrument is in great condition, and really shines, but there are some imperfections and indications of prior use on the finish on the wood. There are small dings, scratches, and chips in the lacquer that are highlighted in the photos below, especially on the wing joint, as is typical. There are some repaired cracks in the bass tenons, but this does not affect the playability of the instrument. The nickel plated keywork really shines. That said, the photos speak for themselves. This instrument plays great, and looks great. The case is original and in nice shape overall, though the outside definitely has a few wear spots. Also included is a silk swab, seat strap, hand crutch, and reed. Please ask any questions about this instrument, we are happy to help.
The 222 is an excellent wooden bassoon that was designed with younger as well as older players in mind. Built in are a few small key extensions that an older player will not notice, but can accommodate slightly smaller hands than the 220 or 240 renard models while at the same time maintaining standard feel and sizing for older players.

Why Buy From Us?
We actually fix the instruments we sell!
Unlike many sellers on eBay who claim not to know anything about the instruments they are selling,
we are woodwind specialists with decades of combined experience
. We care about how all our instruments sound and play, and our feedback record reflects that.
We professionally adjust, overhaul, and clean up all instruments that we sell to insure you the highest quality musical instruments available on eBay.
This process takes hours for each individual horn and would normally cost several hundred dollars at your local music shop. This 10+ point process means replacing worn and damaged pads, adjusting the position of leaky pads to seal properly, adjusting and replacing damaged springs, making sure the instrument is regulated to play all alternate fingerings, replacing loose cork connectors, instrument cleaning, oiling, and play testing the instrument.
You can be assured that when you receive the instrument it will be in top playing condition.
We are so confident that you will not only enjoy, but love your new instrument that we offer a
30-day no questions asked money back guarantee on all our instruments
