Endorse Nick Akdag - Bassoon- check_circleVerified

Nick is just an incredible musician and extremely talented at the bassoon. His tone is clear and smooth, and his intonation is impeccable. He also masters the upper register, which is extremely difficult to do well. I highly recommend Nick and hope to work with him again.
