Hi, I heard of you site after doing some research while looking for a Linton bassoon body lock pin (the instrument I purchased is missing the pin, but it has the posts with holes in it that it would fit into), I improvised with a hex wrench of the correct size and a rubber band and electrical tape, and it actually works GREAT, but thought I’d ask if you have an actual Linton pin hanging around looking for a home? Also, the bocal has a bit of a small tip dent, not too bad really, and tonight I stuck the tip of a reed mandrel to straighten it, and it did somewhat, hope that wasn’t a terrible idea. Do you stock any old Linton bassoon bocals? In any case, nice to find your store.
Andrew,
The last Linton Bassoon in the shop was purchased specifically for parts. If you bring it in to me, I may be able to make one for it. I would be very careful in the future using a reed mandrel, it is very easy to split the end of the tube….although I will give you points for creativity and intuition 🙂
