When I read the price of a classic contrabassoon on website, I was stunned. The retailer price is about $32,500. A popular website is offering it for $27,999
I have not able to find out why the price is so high.
It comprises 18% nickel silver keys. The keys are arranged on a German System. If we look at the finishing of this music instrument. We see that the maker has used Mahogany with acrylic enamel.
I am not familiar with its design. A friend tried to explain me how the design gives optimum resonance and performance characteristics.
