Model 240
The Renard Artist
(Short Bore)
Description
Introduced in 1994, the Renard 240 (short bore) features a tone
quality that is more "open" than the long bore. It is voiced to
permit the performer to open up and "sing" in solo register, and
its tone quality lends itself to solo performance. Frequently
chosen by aspiring bassoonists, it has also been utilized in
symphony orchestras around the world.
Body
Red Maple, selected for tone quality, naturally aged in our own
facilities. Natural rubber linings in the wing joint and small
bore of the boot joint. French bell (metal ring). Body lock.
Finish
Acrylic Enamel
Mechanism
Nickel silver keys with silver plating. Full German system
with additional high D and E keys. Ring key for wing joint third
finger hole. Right hand whisper key lock. Rollers on F, A(flat),
E(flat), D(flat), right thumb B(flat), and F(sharp), in
combination with a crowned E key. B(flat) guard. Metal tubes
extending into the bore in the finger holes of the wing joint to
prevent water from entering the tone holes. All spring posts are
locked with screws.
Intonation
Individually hand tuned to A-440 pitch with maximum resonance and
projection.
Bocals
Numbers 2 and 3, CVX Bore. (Choice of any 2, option of
lengths 0 through 4.)
