The bassoon is a musical wind instrument whose name derives from the Italian word fagotto. It consists of a long wooden tube about 2.5 m, folded over itself. It is a double reed instrument.
It originated in the eighteenth century, appearing in orchestras and chamber groups. It is difficult to learn due to fingering and double reeds. students who choose the bassoon usually only choose it after mastering another wind instrument, such as the transverse flute or the clarinet.
Inside the wind instruments made of wood, the bassoon is the one with the lowest sound.
The bassoon also has two variants: the fagotino, which is a smaller bassoon and with a higher sound, which has become obsolete, and the contrabassoon, which is larger, weighs about 10 kg and sounds an octave below the bassoon.
