After 17 years of great pleasure perfoming on it I will be selling my HECKEL BASSOON. I am the first owner and the bassoon has been in professional use ever since,  in 1000+ concerts all over the world, in chamber music as well as symphony orchestras. Check the details below and please contact me through alban@wesly.eu if you would like to have more information. The instrument is located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

For SALE is the following COMPLETE PACKAGE:

- Heckel Bassoon, # 14.031 (1996), in excellent condition
- Two Bocals (Crooks) at choice (I have several to choose from: Heckel as well as Leitzinger)
- Original Heckel hard case, as good as new
- Used lightweight Marcus Bonna case
- 15 CDs (mostly from Calefax) on which this instrument is being played

The Dutch government has found some unfathomable pleasure in bashing the Arts in The Netherlands.

Many art loving people, probably including yourself, would be grateful if you could either
- spread attention to this Guardian article , or
- help make this petition a succes.

Thanks!
