BOCALS
Moosmann manufactures bocals in the same, time-honored tradition that
all high quality bocals are made … by hand … out of a single sheet of metal.
They are formed around a mandrel; the seam is soldered and is bent into the classic shape.
This process assures perfectly consistent thickness and adherence to the specified conical
bore.
Excellent Series … These bocals are standard issue for the
American Model Moosmann bassoons. The main characteristics of the Excellent Series"
bocals are stability and power. They are available in #1 and #2 lengths, "A" or
"P" Conus, and either "W" (German Silver) or "DG"
(Thin-Walled Brass) variations. The "W" material has a bright, focused and
projecting sound, where the "DG" material is a bit warmer with excellent high
register response.
Interpret Series … These bocals use a special manufacturing
process that does not create the heat that the typical process does and therefore the
molecular structure of the metal is unchanged. This process yields a bocal that has
greater versatility and diversity of timbres and allows for much greater control.
Available in #1 and #2 lengths, these gold-plated bocals use the "DG" material
and "A" Conus. |
