I am pleased to announce officially that I have become a representative for Leitzinger bocals and bassoons, in order to make them more available to the bassoon community, especially in the Northeast US. For many years Stephan Leitzinger has had a growing reputation for the excellence of his bocals. It is my opinion that his bassoons are mirroring the response and rich tonal qualities of his bocals. That is why I now play exclusively on a beautiful Leitzinger Bassoon Model 1. More info
