[edit] The Bassoon
The bassoon is a woodwind instrument in the double reed family that plays in the tenor range and below. It is also called fagott in German, fagotto in Italian, and basson in French. Appearing in its modern form in the 1800s, the bassoon is a part of orchestral, concert band, and chamber music literature. It is known for its distinctive tone color, wide range, variety of character, and agility.
