Cecil's instrument, a Buffet-Crampon bassoon which had been presented to his father by the makers, was made to the French "Buffet" pattern – quite distinct from those of the more modern German "Heckel" system, which he derided as "mumblephones", but which were clearly taking over as instruments of choice.

He always made his own reeds.

He never held a formal teaching position and only rarely took pupils; his irascible temper was legendary, though he mellowed a little with age and the desire to promote use of antique instruments.
