r/bassoon

i just wanna know how to play it.

Hello! I am looking for an unaccompanied solo that can help to be a protest piece, whether it itself was made in protest of something or the composer who was going through a lot of troubles to where them being is a protest if this makes any sense at all. Any skill level should be fine, I'm looking mostly for listening but if there is on I'm able to play I would love to also. Thank you!

I cant seem to find anything for this instrumentation online will I really have to make an arrangement of other piece or is there something written specifically for that (5 bassoons and no contra would also work)

I'm in first year in performance currently borrowing a fox 222 from the school but my teacher wants me to get an instrument for myself in my second year since the 222 does not have a high d key and they could possibly need to borrow this instrument to another newer bassoonist so I can't keep it forever.

I really wanted a gentleman's cut/compact model with a high D key

My budget is max CAD$20.000 but hopefully lower than that

I tried looking online and the best I found was a used Yamaha 821C in pretty good condition with a nice case 2 bocals, wisper key lock, balance hanger and other stuff for CAD$22.000 but I'm not sure if its worth it

Yes I can ask my teacher but he is a busy guy and I don't wanna bother him every time I find I promising listing of a bassoon.

any review on this website pmwoodwind.com? don't know if it's legit or not.

I'm going (hopefully lmao) into post secondary next year. And I'm really hoping to study music. For a while now I have been pretty sure I would major in bassoon performance, maybe composition. But It's the middle of the night and I'm considering doing a piano major instead, It would open up genres that bassoon wouldn't (don't get me wrong I've seen the stray jazz bassoon), but would be so so much more competitive, wouldn't it?

Now i know asking the r/bassoon community is bound to be ever so slightly biased but I'm just wondering about you guys' opinion on this?

FYI my piano level is RCM 10 and my bassoon level isnt measured but " it's not bad" is what I could be 100% confident saying

So I’m In year 10 of school and currently on a short reach that we’re renting - it’s now too small and has never sounded particularly good and my teacher wants me to get an instrument of my own. Ive been playing about 6 years and recently did grade 8. She’s wanting me to get a fox renard (either 220 or 240) but there just don’t seem to be any out there for a reasonable price. I’m playing the Mozart concerto at a concert in a year and a few months time

Were only looking at second hand but howarth are charging like 9500 for used which is barely less than getting it new

Any advice?
