One component.
Three possible applications.
A softer middle A, a D♭–E♭ trill or a low E pianissimo, depending on the installation position. To use several functions at the same time, you need one component for each position.
More possibilities
for your pianissimo.
Fitted to the A mechanism, it allows you to play middle A more softly, with a stable, clean response.
The application that gives La Pianissimo its name.
A different position.
Another possibility.
Fitted in the appropriate position on the mechanism, it enables the D♭–E♭ trill.
To keep the A pianissimo function installed as well, you need a second component.
Pianissimo
in the low register too.
The component can be fitted in another position to facilitate low E pianissimo, below the staff in bass clef.
Each position needs its own component if you want several functions available at the same time.

Your questions,
answered.
What you need to know to choose your component and use it.
Which A can I play more softly?
Middle A on the bassoon. Fitted to the corresponding mechanism, the component lets you play it more softly, with a stable, clean response.
Can I use all three functions with one component?
You can reposition the same component for a different application, but you cannot use all the functions at once with a single component. For several functions installed at the same time, you need one component per position.
Do I need a repairer to install it?
No. It is designed for you to fit it yourself by following the instructions and securing it with the two screws.
Is it compatible with my bassoon?
La Pianissimo is designed for use on all bassoons. If you are unsure about your mechanism’s configuration, send us a photograph before ordering.
