The Fox Model 920 contrabassoon was created in the fall of 2016. Based on the Model 900, it features the use of specially processed mountain maple for the body, which enhances the sound and performance qualities of the instrument. It also includes the divorced low E mechanism as a standard feature. Removable inner U-tubes, full German key system with silver plating, right little finger F and Ab rollers, left little finger Eb and Db rollers, alternate right little finger F♯ and right forefinger Eb, water key on tuning slide. Comes with two Fox contrabassoon bocals, premium aluminum shell case, custom made for Fox contrabassoons, two Fox contrabassoon reeds, end pin, fingering charts.

Bocal Majority adds the following by default to contrabassoons we have ordered from Fox:

1) Rollers on the left hand C to E-flat keys

2) Alternate E-flat touch on right hand thumb (still comes with alt E-flat right index finger too!)

3) Alternate touch C-sharp on left thumb next to the top octave vent key

You are welcome to order a different configuration - that would just need to be stated with at least 8 months lead time.
