I think your trying to say here is: What it is up? I am 14 and I play: trumpet, sax, clarinet, baritone, tuba, and I started to play the bassoon. What is the big difference between bassoon and the other instruments I play?

Grammar Police Strike AGAIN!

if "zoom" thinks it's faintly amusing to correct rubbish grammar like this he/she should ask him/her self which message is easier to understand and whether they would like all communications/newspapers, and the like to be presented in this style. Personally I think it is a teeny bit insulting to come on to a forum with something more or less indecipherable - which the author was at least gracious enough tacitly to acknowledge.

Well, since I more or less unintentionally started this discussion by mistaking the first question, I will try to answer. If you are asking what the differences are between bassoon and the other instruments you play, the answer is - a lot. Which do you like better, the brass or the woodwind horns that you play? Because they use completely different face muscles, and if you get good at one, you won't be able to keep up with the other type very well.

A bassoon uses a more relaxed embouchure than a clarinet or a sax, which require you to "bite" more on the mouthpiece. So to get out of the "biting" habit is a bit hard. Your face has to be "hard" but your mouth more relaxed. Think of whistling and you have a start on the bassoon embouchure.

Also, and this is something not too many people realize at first, the reed problem is the biggest thing with the bassoon. If you get a good one, you can sound awesome, but you might go through 3 or 4 before this happens. In the meantime? Misery! With your band director fussing at you for something that's really not your fault. Most of us, however, like the instrument so well that we suffer through this anyway!

I don't know. If you're going to post, it seems like the post should be written in at least semi intelligent sentences.

Yeah, replacing the word 'tube' for tuba doesn't quite work. If you play the instrument, you should be able to spell it.
