Fox 685D
The 685D is the latest professional bassoon from Fox. A variation of the 680D, it is built with thicker walls and longer tone holes to produce a darker, more concentrated tone and great dynamic range. The 685D is a unique design that provides the performer unlimited power as a soloist or member of a large orchestra while preserving the singing quality and flexibility in the tenor register.
