Model 220
The Renard Artist
(Long Bore)
Description
Introduced in 1972, the Renard 220 (long bore) can be identified
by a very warm "round" tone, evenly balanced, with excellent
intonation throughout the entire range. It is the most secure
design and its tone quality fits well into both chamber music and
orchestral bassoon parts. Like all long bore designs, it features
an intonation guarantee that makes it very popular with students
and schools.
Body
Black Maple, selected for tone and durability, 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 posts set in epoxy and spring posts
are locked with screws.

projection.
