What Is The Densoon?
Densoon is a new kind of bassoon — designed to make the sound of the bassoon more accessible than ever before.
It looks and sounds like a bassoon, but it removes many of the traditional barriers that make the instrument difficult to approach. For saxophonists, clarinettists, flautists — and even curious beginners — the transition feels natural and intuitive.
Available in both acoustic and MIDI versions, Densoon bridges classical tradition and modern flexibility, opening up new creative possibilities without years of technical study.
A Modern Instrument, Born In Italy
Densoon is designed and built in Italy — a country with a deep and enduring tradition of instrument making.
From the master luthiers of Cremona to generations of wind and brass craftsmen, Italy has shaped the sound of classical music for centuries. Names like Stradivari and Amati became synonymous with precision, artistry, and innovation.
Densoon carries that same spirit forward.
Developed by MAWIP in Milan, it combines Italian craftsmanship with advanced mechatronic engineering — respecting the acoustic legacy of the bassoon while reimagining its accessibility for today’s musicians.
This is not a shortcut instrument.
It’s a new chapter in the evolution of wind instruments.
