I've been to that shop before. I was in the same building for something else and stumbled upon it. Woodwinds only, but a nice and decent sized place, really nice people.

Heckel contrabassoons are just about the same price.

I'm afraid to ask if Jeckel are cheaper...

I might win the "cartoons weirder than Woody Woodpecker" category daily double...

I like the little luggage latches to hold the joints together.

Mostly when contrabassoons go into the shop, it's because one of the joints fell off and hit the floor. :gaah:
