The key work feels solid and fits on the instrument well. The silver plate is thick and durable, with a bright shine. We felt that the Schreiber S10 has a lovely build quality about it. As far as we can tell, the bore and tone hole dimensions are identical to the Schreiber S16 bassoon, the S10's more expensive brother. We have completely disassembled this bassoon in our workshops (during its pre-sale service) and inspected it very closely. So what's the build quality of this Schreiber S10 bassoon like? If you are looking for a second hand Schreiber 5016 bassoon, take a look at the used Schreiber S10 bassoon we have for sale as well. Keys included in the S16 bassoon but left off this bassoon are the whisper key lock, C sharp trill, extra B flat for RH third finger, extra G sharp for RH thumb.Key-work included on this bassoon are: high D key, four rollers, extra low C key, extra RH little finger F sharp key, E-F sharp trill key.It still has a high D key, and all of the other keys that most people use regularly. It is a Schreiber full size bassoon, identical in every way to the Schreiber S16 bassoon for sale currently, but sold with one crook instead of two, and with some lesser used keys removed to reduce cost. The Schreiber S10 bassoon can best be described as a more affordable Schreiber S16 bassoon but without compromise on quality.
