What is a bassoon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A bassoon is a large woodwind instrument that is used in orchestras, concert bands, and chamber music ensembles. Its distinctive tone is known for its rich, warm, and full qualities, often playing in the lower ranges of orchestral compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bassoon is similar to the oboe, meaning that its sound is produced by vibrating two pieces of cane together. Its body, which is typically made from maple, consists of a long tube that doubles back on itself. It is divided into four sections: the bell, bass joint (or long joint), boot (or butt), and wing joint (or tenor joint).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
