It was meticulously restored over several months by Christopher Millard and the work was completed in May 2025. The wood was restriped, revarnished and the keys were individually stripped, upgraded and replated.
The Marcus Bonna case is in excellent condition. The bassoon is located in Montreal.
The asking price is $60,000 Canadian dollars
