Basston History
The Bassoon is a family of musical instruments, like the French horn or the oboe, that produces sound when the musician blows air through two connected tubes. The Bassoon is a musical instrument with a cylindrical bore and a piston valve operated by foot. The instrument is normally pitched in E♭ or C, although the bass E has also been used. The bassoon family includes instruments in different lengths, from C to B, and in different keys, from F to E. In each case, the length of the tube increases as pitch rises. The bassoon family also includes the contrabassoon, a double reed instrument in the same range as the bassoon.
