Last update: 05/13/2016
I have obtained some documents that Heckel used for customer correspondence during the 1975 time frame. Several of these documents had been used for years.
In the past, Heckel offered a wide array of models of bassoons. At the time of Heckel's 100 year anniversary (1931) the Heckel catalog listed 25 models of the Heckel bassoon--including the model 41met which had a metal body! This model was reportedly produced for tropical climates. Keywork options were offered by way of these different models.
The model number 41 has always been used for the German system bassoons, while the model number 42 was the designation for the World System keywork (left hand French system, right hand German system).
Currently, Heckel produces only one model of the Heckel bassoon, the 41i. Click here to see the standard catalog options offered for a new Heckel bassoon.
Heckel bassoon serial numbers are assigned when the wood for the instrument is chosen for construction. After the serial number is assigned the wood is cured for at least 12 years. This can cause variations in serial number/year progression; it is possible to have a lower serial number shipped after a higher serial number has shipped.
Heckel bassoon serial numbers are not continuous. There are known gaps in the serial numbers. The reason for these gaps is not always known even by the factory. For example, according to company sources:
...we can confirm that there are no instruments [bassoons] from [serial numbers] 11389 to 11501 ever built; maybe we had a design change during that time.
This web page uses the convention serial/manufacturing mark, e.g., serial number 7273, manufacturing mark 2 will be shown as 7273/2. This number is sometimes erroneously referred to as a desk number or a bench mark. The manufacturing mark does not connect a specific instrument with a specific builder or build desk in any way; according to factory sources, this number was only used to keep the separate pieces of the instrument together during the construction process.
The following is an explanation of some of the typical variations you may find in instrument descriptions:

7038 | There is disagreement about whether or not this is the original serial number. There are a number of features on this instrument which had not been in normal production for a Heckel bassoon since the 6200 series. This does not in any way mean the bassoon is a fake of any kind; it is simply noted that this bassoon has features which do not resemble a normal 7000-series Heckel. | ||||
