Heckel System - Post War design
The YFG-812 has a heavier wall design featuring a rich, authoritative sound. It is ideal for players who prefer a round, warm tone, and who require the power to balance the volume of the modern symphony orchestra.
Contemporary tone hole and bore design
Advanced design techniques and skilled Yamaha engineers have resolved intonation problems and tone quality inconsistencies traditionally associated with bassoons. Yamaha has created a bassoon that allows the artist to control the most subtle tone shadings in the most delicate passages, while opening up the sound beyond traditional limits.
"Gentleman" type body configuration
Available on special order Gentleman system bassoons have an extra joint which allows the use of a smaller case. When ordering a compact system bassoon, add 'C' to the model number.

Custom Bassoon

Yamaha Custom bassoons can be heard in some of the world's greatest orchestras, and are considered the finest currently being produced. They deliver a full rich sound which allows control of the most subtle tone shadings in delicate passages, while letting you open the sound up beyond traditional limits. With redesigned tonehole shapes and positions, and ergonomic "finger-friendly" key shapes, Yamaha Custom bassoons have extremely accurate intonation and a comfortable playability. The 812 with its slightly heavy body wall offers a rich authoritative sound. It is ideal for players who prefer a round warm sound and need enough power to balance the modern symphony orchestra. It is available in conventional or 'compact, style body configurations.

Bocals
As most bassoonists know, the bocal affects the instrument's tone and playability to an extraordinary extent. Until now, however, most bocals have been plagued by inconsistency -no two of the same model would sound or play quite the same. The “perfect” bocal has been an elusive goal for players and manufacturers alike. To discerning players everywhere the consistently high quality of Yamaha Super Bocals is a true breakthrough... which can significantly improve the tone and playability of just about any bassoon for any player. Hand-crafted from the finest materials with traditional care and attention to detail, Yamaha Super Bocals are the closest thing to a “Perfect Bocal” ever produced, and have earned praise from some of the most distinguished artists of our time.
