Densoon

The world's first bassoon with simplified fingering

Densoon is much more than an instrument—it's a remarkable fusion of tradition and innovation.

It is a true acoustic bassoon with a double reed and a range of three and a half octaves, distinguished by its mechatronic architecture. Thanks to the electronic components integrated into its keywork, Densoon features an assisted fingering system that is intuitive and immediately approachable—drawing inspiration from the German fingering system of the recorder—to make playing feel natural and accessible from the very first note.

Unique in its kind, Densoon is designed for wind players—especially saxophonists, flautists, and clarinetists—as well as curious and creative multi-instrumentalists. It is the ideal instrument for expanding your musical vocabulary, exploring new sonic possibilities, and dramatically shortening the learning curve.

Customize Densoon to match your sound!

Integrated MIDI

Expand your sonic palette and shape Densoon around your creative vision. One instrument, endless sounds.

Double reed or sax-style mouthpiece

What kind of wind player are you? You don't have to decide right away. Explore both possibilities: a traditional double reed or a sax-style mouthpiece—the choice is yours.

Why it's revolutionary

It sounds like a traditional bassoon, but it's easier to play

A fingering system inspired by the German recorder system dramatically reduces the learning curve while preserving the authentic character of the instrument in its original acoustic form.

Familiar from the very first note

Designed to feel familiar for anyone who already plays a wind instrument. The embouchure can also be adapted to suit your playing preferences. 

Original fingering, with a new simplicity

The logic of the original bassoon fingering system remains available if you prefer it, while complex fork fingerings and many alternative fingerings are reduced or eliminated.

Two instruments in one: acoustic + MIDI

Densoon opens the door to a world of digital sound through its integrated MIDI functionality: synthesizers, samples, effects, loops, multitrack performance, and more. The bassoon becomes your controller for exploring entirely new sonic possibilities.

Technology that serves musical expression

Advanced settings (via app or onboard controls), instant transposition at the touch of a button, flexible setup, and zero compromises when it comes to creativity.

Here's what players are saying…

Densoon è la naturale evoluzione del fagotto e MAWIP renderà possibile quella di tutti i legni.

I discovered that Densoon is every wind multi-instrumentalist’s dream, thanks to its simplified fingering system. With just a bit of practice, I was already playing.

Densoon is a little gem of technology, designed for players like me who love the bassoon but aren’t bassoonists. Its fingering feels easy and intuitive.
