The bassoon is a woodwind instrument which has a unique tone color. Given its warm sound, high penetrating tone color which reaches to every corner of concert halls, and its ability to cover a very broad sound range, it is an indispensable instrument which can add color to various compositions from solo to chamber music, wind music, and orchestras.

However, traditionally, most bassoons were highly priced which made it difficult for organizations such as schools, and even more for individuals, to easily purchase. Furthermore, there were many instruments whose tone color and pitch did not match the price. We believed that these were huge reasons which prevented the bassoon from becoming popular. Therefore, Takeda Bassoon was established in order to overturn the common belief that “the bassoon is not popular because it is expensive”, and to produce bassoons with lasting high-quality and an affordable price.  Learn More
