Fox Model 601 Bassoon
Fox Bassoon Thick Wall (Long)
Description
The demand for power by modern orchestras prompted the
introduction in 1991 of the Model 601 bassoon, which
featured thicker walls than earlier designs. This results

tone quality that is bigger, yet slightly less concentrated
than the short or long bore models. The Model 601 is
the longer version and is slightly flatter with a warmer
tone quality. It is somewhat more work to play, but
it delivers more power when pushed, yet can easily
handle soft attacks. It was designed and developed
under the supervision of Alan Fox in conjunction with
prominent bassoonists in major symphony orchestras.
Like all Fox bassoons, it features freedom of response,
intonation, tonal quality, and projection that will
satisfy the requirements of the most discriminating
performers.
