I have a question. Usually, not all the time, when I play my bassoon, saliva comes out from the main fingerings. Can this really damage your instrument. (My bassoon case didn't come with a swab, I play for my school.)
I really want to learn to play the bassoon but I need to get a job to pay for one, seeing as our school band doesn't have a bassoon. This video series has confirmed by desire to play bassoon. You are a GREAT teacher!
The longer bell joint is the same length of the long joint on my bassoon. This allows for the bassoon to fit in a smaller case, making internation travel less of a hassle.
I am not certain I understand your question. I do not have a roller key on the whisper key key that touches my thumb.

Why do you have a roller on the whisper key that goes the opposite direction

terry what kind of crutch do you use because it looks like a very high quality and where did you get it

This crutch originally came when I purchased my Heckel bassoon.

Hey Terry,
What kind of bassoon do you even have?

I play a Heckel bassoon, however, in some of the instructional videos I am performing with a Fox student model bassoon.

Thanks for the breathing instruction. I tend to put my stress in my shoulders. Concentration on lower breathing should take away shoulder stress.
