The Bassoon Song

[Jnoltsloppy]

Funny:)

[brainykid800]

So I would REALLY love to do this for my senior recital, but I can't find it anywhere. Do you know where I could locate this piece? Thanks!

[PerceptionsOfMe]

@FA22raptero Sax is actually the easiest instrument to learn. Bassoon isn't so hard, then again it was the first instrument that I learned. I have yet to fully learn the oboe, but I have messed around on one and it's not too bad. The only issue that I have is with treble clef. Which is an issue when I'm doing percussion stuff in marching band as well. But yeah. Little ramble about instruments. Lol.

[drumstyx6464]

bahahahaha who says sax is the hardest? oh man...sax is SO easy by comparison to bassoon (maybe it's because i've been playing alto for 8 years vs the 2 months i've been on bassoon :P)

[THEianstudios]

@drumstyx6464 no, bassoon is hard

[einekleinesopran]

The sheet music for this seems to be out of stock everywhere! I really want to perform it with my brother in a few weeks- do you have it?

[victorrockalot]

lets just say, it's "different" to play.

[cellofellow1223]

In my opinion, the third hardest to play. Hardest is oboe, second is horn.

[Esperant3]

VIOLIN?

[shortkid2929]

is bassoon hard to play?

[sjhsbassoonist]

I love you! ;D That's great!!

[fagocista1980]

very nice sound, vibrato:)),attack and intonation! xD Lmfao.

[BigMTBrain]

Great arrangement! Superbly entertaining! All smiles... Bravo!

[granomuff]

does anyone know the name of the composer and correct name of this piece of music?

I Love it, and i want to play it myself!!

Thanks for answers!!

[tenoroonboy]

Yes, it't the Bassoon Song by Quentin Ashlyn, republished by Jack Sprat. You'll be able to get it from Trevco in the US and June Emerson in the UK. I have to warn you that the bassoon interjections are entirely Andrew Bassey's and most apposite they are too.

[bunk10011]

i play the bassoon and the reeds that i use are just dreadfully awful ... anyone have a really good brand that they use ???

[bassoonislife]

I would say Jones are the best store-bought route, but they are still not very good...

It's best to buy them off someone who makes their own, preferably a professional.

[shmeepfairy]

i use mantel reeds, baught from howarths, i like them a lot, they tend to be very reliable, and far better then begginer reeds or those from britania!

[shmeepfairy]

forgot to say, theres a fantastic book that teaches you how to adjust your reeds, its really easy to use, and a great way to start scraping (the reed doctor i think) x

[topgun4h]

i tried to adjust mine once, it came out aweful. but it's all about practice. ^_^

[lillialove13]

my teacher makes mine, she says that i can adjust them myself but i'm too scared considering how expensive they are! mine have a black binding and a red dot if that helps. don't know who makes them here in australia- they are really good though

[LouiseLovesEllis]

I buy John Pacca medium bassoon reeds. They are really good, they come in there own little pot so you can soak them :D

[pinkelafant]

[jontrombone1975]

Great fun! This should certainly inspire youngsters to take up the Bassoon!

Not sure about the tone quality of the singing or playing though! Both are certainly "unique"!

[snicket101]
