Oops might*

Hey I maybe switch to the bassoon from tenor trombone, how difficult would it from buzzing to double reed? Thanx for the videos!

[bromixsr]

I wish there were videos this good when I was teaching myself to play sax. The man is a great teacher. Almost makes me want to pick up the bassoon as well.

can I use an alto sax neck strap as my neck strap?

[MeAndMyWorldOfLove]

@bluetiger154 i tried that too, but it wasnt as stable so i had to go buy a seat strap (:

[Krauser012345]

Just a quick question, what type of neck strap do you wear? It looks different than the normal fox ones I've been using.

[tewelltube]

The neckstrap is made by BG. Terry

[Krauser012345]

@tewelltube So it's a person and not a company? I googled "BG. Terry" but nothing musical came up.

I have one quick question, So ive see many other bassoonists wear neck straps, but I personally use the seat belt. From your own experience, which one do you think is best to use/ wear? The neck trap or the belt?

[tewelltube]

I use a seat strap whenever seated and ALSO a neck strap.

[dymondegaly]

What colors do they come in?

[tewelltube]

I think the Fox polyprophelene bassoons only come in black.

i would like know how to play a warmer and appealing sound to my audience as my friends say the sound i play on my bassoon is harsh and unappealing

[tewelltube]

It might be your reeds or it might be the way you are playing. I suggest you work with a teacher. Best of luck!

I appreciate the thoughts on breathing and will focus on lowering the bottom jaw.
