Independent shopping perspective
Moosmann’s Excellent Series Contrabassoon Bocal 1 is made by hand from a single sheet of metal. The metal is formed around a mandrel, soldered at the seam, and bent into the classic bocal shape. That process is intended to maintain consistent thickness and the specified conical bore. Within the Excellent Series, the defining characteristics are stability and power.
