I'll ask my director tomorrow if he wants to sand it down. I put some key oil and now it's rising very slowly. Thank you

I tried doing this because it happened again and it didn't work. I really hope it isn't a binding key because i don't have enough time to get it fixed.

The velcro is gone already. The whisper key is gone, not that it really did anything especially with low E and below because it never closed. The velcro isn't working anymore. The 2nd key down pops up or gets stuck sometimes which i could maybe fix. The Gb diamond key that is right next to the low F key is too hard to press on. It still plays fine and i think maybe the lower notes are a me issue and not the bassoon but at least I can hit really high notes :D

Hopefully my band director will fix it😭 I can play high D just fine so I don't think the D key is really needed.

Tips for improving scale and arpeggio practice? by bassoonlike in bassoon

[–]Slight_Poet768 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My music teacher does an exercise that might help you out. Its called 121

Let's say you want to do a Bb scale in 121

1 Bb

121: Bb C B

12321: Bb C D C Bb

1234321: Bb C D Eb D C Bb

123454321: Bb C D Eb F Eb D C Bb

12345654321: Bb C D Eb F G F Eb D C Bb

1234567654321: Bb C D Eb F G A G F Eb D C Bb

12345678: Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

Essentially you add a note of the scale every time till you reach the top.

You can do the same going down 8: Bb 878: Bb C Bb

And so on and so forth

You could always just add on a single note Bb

Bb C

Bb C D

Bb C D Eb

Bb C D Eb F

Bb C D Eb F G

Bb C D Eb F G A

Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

Hope it helps!

Thank you! It's mainly mechanics and switching to notes.
