That is the question. Does anyone have any opinions about Schreiber bassoons? I haven`t played bassoon since high school (over 10 years ago) and would like to play again. (I switched from alto sax to bassoon in 10th grade because our band had an abundance of sax players and no bassoon players!) I`ll have to purchase one because you can`t rent them in this area. I know they`re expensive, but I think I can get a decent price on an Schreiber S13 or S16. Any thoughts?Also, does anyone know what it means if a bassoon is a 'conservatory' model?Thanks!(P.S. I`ve been reading all your old posts.
You guys are a hoot!). I have played on 2 schrieber bassoons, and i absolutely love them. I played on a professional model from 1973, and i have recently purchased an S16.One thing that sets them apart from any fox/linton is that they are a german made bassoon!!! From my experience the ease of playing on one from the other is significantly distinguishable. The sound to me is just better, I play in a wind ensemble with a girl who plays on a Fox/Renard 240 artist model, and I just blow her bassoon away with my dynamic range and excellent staccatos with the schrieber, her fox sounds soft and weak.although fox bassoons are very nice dont get me wrong, but the good fox bassoons cost alot, the lower end 222-240 models and the plastic ones are JUNK!
And you could get a schrieber for the same price.Go for it! You are probably aware that the s13 is a student model instrument designed for players with smaller hands. If this is a concern for you, consider it. Historical background, if needed-Wentzel Schreiber was the former shop foreman at Puchner, had been with Puchner for about 34 years before going out on his own after WW2, so we are talking about a fair amount of experience at bassooon making (I believe he passed his considerable experience on to his children).For myself, I latched onto a VERY good deal on a Schreiber. (Model 5016, I think). It`s their top-line professional instrument, and I LOVE IT!!!! As far as I`m concerned, forget about looking for something better; I`ll play this horn until it`s time to lay it on top of me.Shortly after I purchased it, I had it evaluated by a pro player who offered to swap her Heckel for it; and I don`t think she was kidding.
She described it as a songbird, very easy to get a nice singing sound out of it (she said she had to really work to get her Heckel to do what my Schreiber did with almost no effort at all. Based on my experience, yes, go for it, especially if you can get a good price.
It will probably do everything you could ever want it to do, and more. Schreibers can look terrible in perfect condition. After about 3/4 of a year of searching for a decent bassoon for a good price, I`ve noticed you can tell the quality of most S. Bassoons by the wood.The student Schreibers have a monotinous, dark cherry red paint-like colour, no flaming, etc. These are dead ugly for a wooden bassoon.The better Schreibers have a bright pink to brick red finish, wiht flames on long and wing joints, and stain cloudiness on bell and boot, making these pretty nice-looking.Zuelgers are advanced student models, being dark brown but having a little variation, but they have a unique tone and are at least more pleasant to look at than the cons. Models and Conns.Conns are plain ugly over 10 years old.
They are slightly darker versions of the cons. Schreibers, and again, they look like they were painted rather than stained. These lose condition rapidly and sound a lot worse.
