  • I agree. It's a shame they don't mix them more. The sound of the two types sounds really cool, I think. Like an extension of the english horn. Especially in the high register, the french bassoon is king. A friend of mine once said when the french bassoon plays a solo, it's as if a naked lady is standing up in the middle of the orchestra.

  • Many thanks. I couldn't agree more about the two-system bassoons. If bassoonists of the French bassoon were to perform with an orchestra in front of an audience of open-minded people, I know we would win. The problem is CONDUCTORS. Most of them don't seem to want this instrument to get anywhere near their orchestras. Pourquoi?

  • This is great, do you have anything else? there is very little on you tube with french system. Excellent job, more, more.

  • fantastic!!

  • I think that both have a place in classical music depending on the music being played, though I think if one bassoonist plays a Buffet, the other should as well. I think there could be conflict from two different systems of bassoon used at the same time. That said, I want to buy and learn how to play a Buffet Crampon bassoon.

  • I think there is a place for both in the orchestra. The orchestra should have, 2 heckel system bassoons, 2 buffet system bassoons, 1 heckel system contra, and 1 buffet system contra.

  • i think that the french basson should be used for solo works and first in an orchestra

    teh german fagott should be used for second and below

  • Check out on Youtube: The Air Bassoon Championships

  • Good lord! I should have known I'd find you here. It's Toby. When did you play this cute little piece? Played amazingly, by the way. he wrote a couple of operas, too, one called The Secret of Suzanna. Very saucy and cute one act. We should catch up soon.

  • What a french bassoon should sound like :) fantastic job
