Atelier Goncharov

Atelier Goncharov is a distinguished Russian instrument manufacturer known for producing professional-grade woodwinds, including bassoons, flutes, and oboes. With a full-cycle production process based in Nizhny Novgorod, the company emphasizes craftsmanship, tonal precision, and customization. Each bassoon undergoes extensive development and acoustical refinement, often with input from seasoned orchestra professionals. The production includes student and professional models, offering tailored features like anti-play mechanics and personalized finishing options. Bassoon crooks are crafted from premium materials such as brass, copper, and silver, and are optionally plated in gold or silver to enhance tone and match specific acoustic needs.

Flute production at Atelier Goncharov benefits from innovative design methods developed by industry experts, allowing for advanced mechanical performance in affordable student models. Their oboes, fully manufactured in-house, blend traditional French acoustic design with modern enhancements, such as elliptical tone hole undercuts and reinforced nickel-silver keywork for improved response and durability. The result is an instrument with greater flexibility, tonal balance, and reliability across registers. With growing use in professional orchestras and academic settings, Atelier Goncharov instruments are earning a reputation for merging high-quality craftsmanship with accessible pricing and thoughtful engineering.
