Hugo Fox

Hugo Fox (born February 2, 1897 in South Whitley, Indiana; died December 29, 1969 in South Whitley, Indiana) was an American classical bassoonist.

He studied the bassoon with Adolph Weiss, a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In 1921, he studied with Walter Guetter, the principal bassoonist of the CSO. The following year, he took over Guetter's post, at his recommendation, and remained in that capacity from 1922 to 1949. He also taught as an adjunct at Northwestern University from 1936 to 1950. In 1949, Fox founded the Fox Products Corporation, which made bassoons and oboes. This company has become one of the world's leading suppliers of double reed instruments. His son, Alan Fox, was a founding member of the International Double Reed Society.

In 1979, the International Double Reed Society created the annual Fernand Gillet-Hugo Fox International Competition for oboists and bassoonists in honor of the oboist Fernand Gillet and Hugo Fox.
