Full Bio

I am proud to be a Leitzinger Artist. For decades Stephan Leitzinger has had a reputation for the excellence of his bocals. His bassoons embody the same response and rich tonal qualities. That is why I have played exclusively on a beautiful Leitzinger Bassoon Model 1 for nearly ten years. More info
