Bassoon - Fox 240 Bassoon

This bassoon was used by my high school daughter for 3 1/2 years, when she decided to give it up. To make sure she had no more interest, I've waited two years before trying to sell it. It was purchased in June of 2003, and played through the end of 2006. It's in excellent shape, gently cared for.

I'm asking for $6600 or best reasonable offer. The shipping fees listed below are estimates.

Here's a fuller description I've copied from another site that is advertising the same model. I've checked with my daughter (I'm no bassoonist) to make sure it matches what I'm selling.:

Introduced in 1994, the Renard 240 (short bore) features a tone quality that is more "open" than the long bore. It is voiced to permit the performer to open up and "sing" in solo register, and its tone quality lends itself to solo performance. Frequently chosen by aspiring bassoonists, it has also been utilized in symphony orchestras around the wor
