SML PARIS Faggottino FG400 | Student Fagottino FG400

The bassoon, sized for small hands: the FG400 fagottino lets children start one of the orchestra's most wonderful instruments years earlier.

Developed with conservatory teachers, the FG400 scales the bassoon down in size, weight and stretch so young players can form proper technique before graduating to a full instrument — addressing the exact reason the bassoon is usually started so late. Simplified, ergonomic keywork and robust construction suit school and conservatoire life, backed by the woodwind craft SML Paris has honed since 1935.

About SML Paris

SML Paris — Strasser Marigaux Lemaire — has been crafting fine French woodwinds since 1935, when three friends with complementary talents founded the workshop in Paris. Long revered for oboes considered among the best in the world, SML applies that same expertise to instruments designed to bring young players into the woodwind family with quality they can grow with.
