"My Model 660 bassoon just spoke to me. There is a certain sparkle in the way it blows when I play it. It is responsive, has a beautiful tone, and works well in many different genres from playing in a symphony to playing really loud amplified jazz/rock fusion. The tone stays intact and the warmth of the instrument always prevails."
