Bassoon 1

The Bassoon is a woodwind instrument in the tenor and bass register.

$32.00

It has been used to provide the bass voice in the orchestral woodwind section since the middle of the 19th century, a role it shares with the bass clarinet. In all its registers, the notes of the bassoon - especially staccato notes - are well suited for the performance of humorous, comic effects and the depiction of musical caricatures.
