@jearbear344 I double tongue this excerpt. My single tongue does not go faster than quarter=108 (playing 16th notes), and since this excerpt is expected to be played at least at half=144, I'm forced to double tongue, lol.
Isnt that call a faggottini?? I play the bassoon as well.. i thought i was a maniac for trying it..lol but i switched from oboe to bassoon and i still play the oboe and the flute as well.
my fellow concert band members, i state a question 4 u guys. my band teacher says i should switch from second chair flute 2 bassoon. wat do i do? and is playing the bassoon fun like the flute?
The best mentality to approaching it is to not think of it as being big and difficult. I don't think it's any more difficult than any other woodwind.. it's just very different.
sorry for the late reply...I was playing one of Justin Miller's (Miller Marketing Co.) at TMEA. he says he is in the process of developing a budge model that will sell for about $500 (I think the one I'm playing is about $3000 or so).
@Littlebocco There is a rubber model available now for about $1500...and I'm soooo tempted to buy one. It's a Nobel brand (through Miller Marketing Co.)
You can play a standard concert bassoon standing up, too. I don't reccomend it, though. She, however, is playing a tenaroon/quart bassooon/ w/e you want to call it. They aren't full size.
Wow 60% of people dislike this? I just played one today at fmea and I have to say I is pretty hard to play

I love it. You gotta be a little nuts, though!

That comment had no offence intended towards you. I was saying that I just don't like the concept of the mini bassoon. Sorry if it sounded harsh.

um... that's stupid. it's like a contemporary version of the baroque bassoon which i am also not a fan of.
