Designed with students in mind, the Selmer 1432B is a top-quality student bassoon featuring professional-grade characteristics. This well-crafted instrument is made from high-impact resonite ABS and is equipped with nickel-silver keys and traditional leather pads. It utilizes the Heckel key system, which includes numerous trill keys for enhanced performance flexibility. The bassoon produces a warm, wood-like tone and a mature sound that stands out whether you're performing in a marching band, symphonic orchestra, or jazz ensemble.
The 1432B's resonite ABS body replicates the appearance and acoustic properties of grenadilla wood while offering durability and ease of maintenance. It withstands temperature changes, humidity, and minor accidents, making it a long-lasting choice for students. The instrument’s nickel-plated mechanism paired with durable kid leather pads ensures a reliable seal and a light touch, aiding in the development of proper fingering technique. Additionally, the Heckel key system provides exceptional versatility.
Founded by conservatory-trained clarinetist Henri Selmer in 1885, Henri Selmer Paris began by crafting reeds and mouthpieces, eventually expanding into instrument repair and manufacturing. The company’s commitment to quality and innovation has continued through the years, with every instrument individually tested and certified by professional musicians.
