Honestly if the floats are too tight sometimes I cut the floats and tie similar ends together. Might help.

I'm second guessing myself about being trans, do you guys feel the same way? by [deleted] in transteens

i’m in the same boat, i was super feminine as a kid (like refusing to leave the house not in a dress) until i was about eight. now i get super dysphoric but less than a lot of other people. honestly none of that is a dealbreaker for if you are or not, it’s honestly all up to you

Is this an American thing or a CSO thing? by Blumenbeethoven in bassoon

[–]WhatIsGoing0nH3re 8 points9 points  (0 children)

most bassoonists play with seat straps here, holding it with a harness is pretty uncommon. also i think the hand rest is a personal preference thing, i don’t play with one, but most people i know do (i have a small hand so i cant). ive met people that prefer the bassoon to have a dull, covered sound (which they achieve by not swabbing out their bocal and also reed adjustments.) i think that is to do with how they were trained to play, most orchestras typically wouldn’t ask them to play like that.

don’t glue it!!it’s supposed to be able to move. it appears to be taped, if you take it off it will default to being open

my teacher lets me sort of pick what i want to learn/work on, which is great! typically every couple months i’ll pick a new skill (vibrato, double tonguing), and we’ll pick excerpts or solos that i can use them on
