The Guntram Wolf FG5 Quint Bassoon (mini-bassoon) has its origins in the tenor curtal (dulcian). It is pitched a fifth higher than the standard bassoon. It works very well for teaching primary age children at music schools. Treble clef parts in C can be played untransposed. For this reason it is well suited to take the middle parts in any kind of ensemble. It uses standard modern bassoon fingerings for bass clef parts (transposed) and tenor clef parts can be read untransposed as bass clef parts.
Finish: stained natural timber.
