Heckel |
5xxx World System (built 1921)
A World System bassoon, but with a profusion
of duplicated tone holes and additional trill keys. In simple terms, the wing and boot are German system with addition of French keys; long is French with addition of German keys; French-looking bell is a compromise, having two tone holes. This very complicated bassoon has a total of 25 spatulas and one ring key, ultimately controlling 29 tone holes and vents, plus crook vent.
Sold as seen, no crook, in good condition, previously restored and colour lightened, chrome-plated. From the William Waterhouse Collection. Plays at A=440

Heckel |
4xxx World System (built 1907)
In order to penetrate the British and American markets, where the French system was well entrenched at the time, Heckel developed from 1900 several “World System” models, of which this is an early example. The key system is similar to that of the French bassoon with a few modifications. However, in respect of bore, and placement and size of tone holes, the instrument remained essentially German in character. A chart
of 1911 gives a range up to a’’-flat.
The wing and descending bore of the butt are lined with hard rubber. The bell has a French style contour with metal ring. The dark varnish, when new, would have approximated the look of a French rosewood bassoon. On the long joint, repairs may have been carried out to the lower tenon and to the D hole.
Sold as seen, no crook. From the William Waterhouse Collection.

Heckel |
4xxx (built 1907)
Ringed maple, stained dark brown. German silver keys and fittings. Standard Heckel key system.
The butt incorporates two of Wilhelm Heckel’s improvements of 1901: (a) an improved U-bend bow, fixed by spring clips instead of the earlier sliding model, which had been liable to leak; (b) improved G key action by means of rod connection. Further refinements dating from 1901–7, which have since
become standardised, include (c) c-sharp – d-sharp trill
mechanism by means of a ring key for L3; (d) a ring-key mechanism for R1 to improve the intonation of g, (e) an improved mechanism for the RT B-flat key, and (f) re-sited tone hole for the RT A-flat key.
Lloyd, Heckel’s agent for Great Britain and the colonies since 1876, supplied instruments at “English” pitch at this time for £30. This one was used at a Manchester theater for many years, until the change-over to flat pitch in the 1930s; Pitch is A=450-455.
Sold as seen, no crook. From the William Waterhouse Collection
