Endorse Nick Akdag - Bassoon
check_circleVerifiedNick is a great player and easy to work with. Very happy with our recording!
check_circleVerifiedNick 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.
