Is a contrabassoon bigger or smaller than an ordinary bassoon?
What is the contrabassoon like?
Hi, fellow Yahoo fans. I have played oboe and English horn, but not bassoon or contrabassoon. I know they're incredibly difficult instruments. I have seen bassoon fingering charts. I counted no fewer than seven keys for the left thumb alone, and there are probably more. I've never even seen a contra in person. The contra seems to be so wonderfully and powerfully deep and gruff. What is it like to play this incredible instrument? Is it anything like the standard bassoon? I once heard that Alexander Gounod attempted to write a contra concerto. Did he, or anyone else, succeed? All my best, Bret
What type of contrabassoon does this sound like?
I remember in a video I saw somewhere, I can't remember where, had a orchestra with a contrabassoonist at least I thought it was since the instrument compared to other bassoons who had a contrabassoon that didn't look any regular contrabassoon I've seen before.The U joint was much shorter, with the downward turning tube only being about 2 feet long. However the instrument was so long that it look about, heck 4 or 5 feet taller than the seated bassoonist I know the standard instrument is the German Heckel contrabassoon, but it could be a French Buffet contrabassoon or hell even something else.Anybody got here any ideas?Thanks del icious manager. I doesn't look like that though, since the body is much longer and thinner, and is most likely a very long regular bassoon with some kind of extension.
Where can i find a complete contrabassoon fingering chart?
any type of chart will do good.
