The Guntram Wolf FG4 Quart Bassoon is a mountain maple
mini-bassoon ideal for teaching primary school age children, and
for normal wind ensembles when played with no transposition from
a treble clef Bb part. When played from a bass clef part
(transposed) it uses normal bassoon fingerings.
The Guntram Quart Bassoon, also known as the tenoroon, survived
in limited numbers into the 19th century. Solo and ensemble
repertoire from the 18th century exists for it, and there are
also modern compositions written specially for these instruments.
It is pitched a fourth higher than the standard bassoon.
