Based on my experience, yes, go for it, especially if you can get a good price. 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. 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.

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. 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).įor myself, I latched onto a VERY good deal on a Schreiber. If this is a concern for you, consider it.

You are probably aware that the s13 is a student model instrument designed for players with smaller hands.
