Model IV
Fox Polypropylene Bassoon
Symphony Bore (Long)
Description
Originally introduced in 1965, the Fox Model IV bassoon's
long bore design can be identified by its very warm "round" tone,
with even balance and excellent intonation throughout the entire
range. The secure acoustical design and the durable body material
make this an economical choice for schools, university music
programs, and individuals seeking a second instrument. Budget
conscious purchasers of a first instrument also find this a
popular choice.

Mechanism
Nickel silver keys with nickel plating. Full German system with
high D key. Ring key for wing joint third finger hole. Rollers on
F, A(flat), E(flat), and D(flat). 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.
Intonation
Individually hand tuned to A-440 pitch with maximum resonance and
projection.
