The Hichwa-Rachor database contains two original bassoons of Carl August Schaufler (1794-1877). He flourished in Stuttgart from 1816 to 1877 and is the son of Johann Christoph Schaufler, Hofdreher (Court Turner) at Stuttgart. From 1829, Schaufler collaborated with Neukirchner to develop a new, improved bassoon.
