The Amati ABN 41 IV Artist is an advanced bassoon designed for musicians requiring a professional level specification for higher-grade study, ensemble playing and performance. Constructed from carefully selected maple with silver-plated keywork, it combines a rich, focused tone with a responsive mechanism designed to support demanding repertoire.
The instrument features an extended 25-key system incorporating high C and D keys, four trill keys and an automatic G-ring key. Ergonomic additions including nine rollers, a thumb Ab key and double low C touch help facilitate smoother technical passages and more comfortable fingering transitions.
Designed for progressing players, advanced students and conservatoire applicants, the ABN 41 IV Artist offers a comprehensive specification while maintaining a balanced and comfortable playing experience.
The 25-key silver-plated mechanism includes high C and D keys, four trill keys and an automatic G-ring key. These features provide greater flexibility across the instrument's range and support more advanced technical and orchestral repertoire.
Nine rollers, a thumb Ab key and double low C touch are incorporated into the design to improve comfort and efficiency when navigating complex fingering patterns.
The maple body is finished in a protective matte lacquer that preserves the natural appearance of the wood while contributing to a warm, resonant sound and reliable long-term performance.
The Artist model bridges the gap between student and professional instruments, providing many of the features expected by serious players preparing for conservatoire auditions and advanced ensemble work.
