You are probably aware that the s13 is a student model instrument designed for players with smaller hands. If this is a concern for you, consider it. Historical background, if needed--Wentzel Schreiber was the former shop foreman at Puchner, had been with Puchner for about 34 years before going out on his own after WW2, so we are talking about a fair amount of experience at bassooon making (I believe he passed his considerable experience on to his children).
For myself, I latched onto a VERY good deal on a Schreiber. (Model 5016, I think). It`s their top-line professional instrument, and I LOVE IT!!!! As far as I`m concerned, forget about looking for something better; I`ll play this horn until it`s time to lay it on top of me.
Shortly after I purchased it, I had it evaluated by a pro player who offered to swap her Heckel for it; and I don`t think she was kidding. She described it as a songbird, very easy to get a nice singing sound out of it (she said she had to really work to get her Heckel to do what my Schreiber did with almost no effort at all. Based on my experience, yes, go for it, especially if you can get a good price. It will probably do everything you could ever want it to do, and more.

Beginner Level Bassoons

For the beginning bassoonist, we recommend the Fox 41, 51 or 222. These bassoons are made with fewer advanced features and polypropylene or less select wood in order to keep the price more reasonable for a beginner. These bassoons are designed with the player in mind for stability of intonation and tone but do not offer the flexibility of more advanced instruments.

Intermediate and Advanced Bassoons

If you are a more advanced high school level player, college-bound musician, or a serious amateur we recommend the following models. These are typically made with better quality wood, more advanced features and higher quality bocals.
