Püchner Bassoon Bocals
Besides the traditional thin-walled bocals (such as MD, BD and ED), Püchner manufactures thick-walled bocals of three differing kinds:
–  silver plated German silver,
–  solid Sterling Silver as well as
–  silver plated brass.
Some of the features of Püchner – bocals are their wide range of dynamics, their dark but glimmering sound qualities, and their perfect intonation.
Different materials and models vary in regard to colour of sound and resistance provided and thus offer the player the opportunity of finding a bocal matching their individual parameters and ideals.
Püchner also manufacture bocals in special bends, especially in straighter bends thus enabling even tall players to play comfortably. These straight bend bocals offer anatomically an advantageous angle for playing as well as sufficient distance between reed and fingering system.
