[royalsolobassoon]

How much was that contrabassoon i got a regular bassoon im trying to be able to play 2 types of bassoons.

[mzoli1222]

Where can I find the shhet music for this piece? I tried googling it but no success.

Somebody might help.

[rubix12321]

Very nice playing! Has anyone ever told you that you that you look like a young Jeff Goldbloom? hehe

[TheCatQ]

a very very very funny mix of great music on the contrabassoon. Man, I wish I could play one without scaring the neighbours...

[cellofellow1223]

What contra do you use? I mostly play on my teacher's 1938 Mollenhauer, though this weekend I'll perform this Symphony on a Moosmann. Love this solo!

[JayBassoon]

That's a Schreiber owned by our Orchestra over here. Not in the best of shape, but we make do. Yes, this moment a fun one for the ContraBassoon . . .

[cellofellow1223]

Ok. Well done. What orchestra are you with? I'm contrabassoon/utility 3'd with Rainier Symphony.

[AZWozzeck]

Looks like it's in much better shape then the contra I have to play on. The college owns a Puchner..... and it's so old it has no tuning slide.

[ReddsGoff]

i love this;)

[sfbassoonguy]

THAT orchestra is fortunate to have you! Just goes to show how much a well played contra can add to an ensemble.

Who is your bassoon teacher?

[madman12345678910111]

i played that on the contra with the NCo (national childrens orcestra) its not that hard

[ridobasi]

Hello Friend,

I want to buy one used contrabassoon.

Do you where I can find this one?

thank you

[cellofellow1223]

I'll be playing this on contra later in the fall. Hopefully I'll be up to it.

[BorisGaquere]

fart fart. fart fart fart. haha

looks like a lot of fun

[crazybassoonist]

You're really good, and with such a hard solo, you must be near passing out after that. But yeah excellent!!!

[JayBassoon]

Thanks for the praise! Actually there isn't as much danger passing out here as there is after having to play lonnngggg notes, like at the beginning of Zarathustra.

[crazybassoonist]

Haha yes I've played that before on bassoon I'd imagine it'd be twice as bad on the contra!!

[semarcus1]

What orchestra is that?

[JayBassoon]

I guess THAT Orchestra would be the one pertaining to the Terre Haute Artists' Theater (T.H.A.T)?

[jk4q]

Excellent! Love it!
