out of tune bassoon

[Romtsa777]

Hello to everyone. Help me, please!
The thing is I have bought the bassoon called "mollenhauer" 3000 model and It's note "a" in tenor joint so high. When I trying play this note by piano It's sounds pretty clean. But when by forte - It so out of tune, It's so high, that all of that just dissapoint me ...
All pads on each joint setted sealed way and there is leaking of pads nowhere...
I tried use another bocal for example Heckel but all It in vain ..
What could It be? Thank for helping!

There are so many factors.

It could be the reed. Have you tried a few?

It could be you. Have you had another player try the instrument?

It might be a combination of both factors.

Are you an experienced bassoonist?

Thank you!
Of course, I tried another reeds: hard, easy, medium, all It doesn't helps, Unfortunately ...
Yes, sure I gave bassoon play to my colleagues, (I work in Opera theatre) but result the same ...

Sounds like this could be a voicing challenge. Or you find a alt fingering that might flatten the note; I had to do that on some vintage saxes. One time a tech added a wedge to the tone hole to get the notes (on a sax in the palm key altissimo range) closer to reality. Sounds like a real challenge.

I have tried all possible fingering and no one are suitable to get a stable note. Thank for response
