Discover refined tone control with the Yamaha EN2S Super Bocal for bassoon. A bocal shapes a bassoon's tone and responsiveness more than almost any other part, and Yamaha developed the Super Bocal series through extensive dialogue and testing with professional artists worldwide. Each one is handcrafted by skilled artisans from a single sheet of metal, finished with elegant roll-stamped engraving that shows off fine handwork.
The EN2S is made of nickel silver (also called German silver) with a silver-plated finish. Nickel silver offers strong corrosion resistance and a focused, far-reaching sound, while the silver plating softens the tone for more nuanced musical expression. This model uses an E taper: a smaller tip paired with a bore that expands broadly toward the end. The result is a comfortable playing resistance, easy control over tricky low-register pianissimos, and a tone that stays smooth and even up into the high register. Its rounded, well-blended sound suits chamber music and ensemble playing especially well.
This is a used, length No. 2 bocal in very good condition with no noticeable scratches. A great pick for players who want serious craftsmanship paired with fine musical control.
