The concept of Takeda instruments is the popularization of bassoons. The instruments are all designed by Yuhiko Takeda, former bassoonist of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. After resigning from his orchestral position in Tokyo to devote more time to teaching, Takeda began developing an instrument that would allow students enhanced progress on high quality instruments, thereby eliminating the ‘student level’ attributes and proceeding directly to what is important for the best playing capability.

Takeda bassoons are described as having a warm open sound, stability in all registers, and superb intonation.

The top two, best-selling Takeda models are available through Lyran Music, by official distributor, Eduardo Sirtori, of the Orquestra do Algarve. These instruments can be shipped internationally and are priced very competitively to traditional brands.
