It is called das Fagott in German, il fagotto in Italian, el fagot inSpanish, and le basson in French. Appearing in its modern form in the 1800s, the bassoon figures prominently in orchestral, concertband, and chamber music literature. The instrument is known for its distinctive tone color, wide range, variety of character, and agility.Its warm, dark, reedy timbre has often been compared to that of a male baritone voice. Due to the complicated fingering and theproblem of reeds, the bassoon is an especially difficult instrument to learn; schoolchildren typically take up the bassoon only afterstarting on another woodwind instrument, such as the flute, clarinet, or saxophoneThe modern bassoon exists in two distinct primary forms, the Buffet system and the Heckel system. The Buffet system isplayed primarily in France but also in Belgium and parts of Latin America, while the Heckel system is played in the majority of the world.The modern bassoon is generally made of maple, with medium-hardness types such as sycamore maple (Bergahorn in German,Acer pseudoplantanus) and sugar maple (from North America) being preferred. Professional models are often made of Bergahorn(translates as "mountain maple", but distinct from the North American tree of that name). The most sought-aftervariety of Bergahorn for bassoons is the flamed "Riegel-Bergahorn" variety. Less-expensive models are made of materialssuch as polypropylene and ebonite, primarily for student and outdoor use; metal bassoons were made in the past but have not beenin production by any major manufacturer since 1889.Bassoon reeds, made of Arundo donax cane, are often made by the players themselves, although beginner bassooniststend to buy their reeds from professional reed makers or use reeds made by their teachers."This information found:Wikipedia EncylopediaFind more Bassoon and Reeds for Sale Here:Bassoon and Reeds for SaleBassoon and Reeds for Sale Powered By RingsurfThis site is part of an Internet Site-Ring Community hosted at World of Newave Previous - List: bassoon - Home: bassoon - Forum: bassoon - Join - Next
