After an extensive trial period and several magnificent concerts by candidate Willmer Torres Martinez, we were able to add this magnificent bassoon to our collection with great confidence. Willmer is the principal bassoonist with PhilZuid. If you fast-forward to 1:27:37 in the link below, you can hear Willmer playing this instrument in the opening of Igor Stravinsky’s *The Rite of Spring*.
