There are 9 Dominique Porthaux (c.1751-1839) bassoons in the Hichwa-Rachor database. He flourished in Paris from 1782 to p.1824 and is known to have made military instruments for the king of France (1785). In 1787 Etienne Ozi mentioned in his Méthode nouvelle et raisonnée pour le basson that Porteaux (sic) makes good bassoons (on page 3).
