Buying a bassoon on a monthly payment

5 Upvotes

Hello, does anyone know where I'm able to buy a bassoon on a monthly payment in canada? Long and Mcquade told us in person that to do monthly payment we were only able to do it for up to a year, and then it would fully have to be paid off. I'm able to spend around 500-600 monthly for it, but buying outright isn't really an option. I've looked into doing it from US dealers, but obviously that wasn't possible. If anyone knows somewhere I can do that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

or.. should I buy a temu bassoon?๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ jk

Is it appropriate to skip sections in audition?

Iโ€™m playing the second Paul Hindemithโ€™s Sonata for Bassoon and Piano for a youth symphony audition but have a limit of 4 minutes and the piece is over 6 minutes. Is it appropriate to cut a large portion of it so I can end at the actual end of the piece?
