Bassoon Repair in Buffalo, NY
Brass Monkey Music in Buffalo, NY repairs and maintains bassoons. Services include pad replacement with white kid leather, joint and bocal sealing, stuck-swab removal, finish touch-ups, and rot inspection.
The bassoon is endlessly intriguing — four large pieces of bored maple with intricate metal keywork, primium leather pads, and precision joinery all working together to make one of the most distinctive sounds in the orchestra. We treat every bassoon with that same care.
What we check on every bassoon
- All pads and tone holes for proper sealing
- Each joint for airtight fit
- Inspection for rot, common in instruments where moisture has lingered
- Quality white kid leather pads with white shellac for uniform replacement
- Finish touch-ups to make previous damage less noticeable
