Just curious; are you using lip vibrato or normal air vibrato?

[Bassoonist]

lip vibrato, I know that it's not correct but, I'm trying to change this...

As a musician myself, I think you're brave to post a video of yourself playing, leaving yourself vulnerable to the shark pool that is this comments section! I thought it was lovely. :o)

I love how Stravinsky uses the bassoon on his music...

btw, nice performance

@Tech502 try moving the jaw instead of the embouchure, it will make the vibrato more obvious and less damaging to your overall playing

[bassoon334]

The notes should hang in the air a little more

@Pudersepp

Double reed instrument do not use lip/tongue vibrato

[Tech502]

idk, i play clarinet and i move my lips up and down in a vibrating fashion which is probably wrong...

[Pudersepp]

@Tech502

I got a question. How do you produce the vibrato here. With the tongue or airflow?

[Tech502]

Very nice... but, it's probably just because your not taking the recording seriously, but your phrasing is just a bit short. Try to just phase at the end of phrases instead of stopping them like that. But honestly overall it was an extremely good performance, good tone, nice control of intonation and a fairly decent vibrato 5 stars

i've always been told to use little or no vibrato when playing this solo. but it sounds good!
