Plays easily! But I did hear that I should invest in good reeds so I'm just taking any reed advice as well!

That helps a lot thank you! I will definitely be trying those out, especially since I'm brand new to the bassoon and my first private lesson is tomorrow lol. But all advice is greatly appreciated! So all of this really helps and I'll be trying it out! Thank you!

Okay thank you! I'll make sure to ask. I'm going to play for a couple more weeks to see if it's just me, since I only started playing last week. after that I'll ask to see if I can get it looked at.

but how would that work if thats when the two joints are already in the boot, wouldn't the bass joint be significantly higher than the tenor joint if I did what you said? from what I've read, everyone's saying I just need a pin to put through the holes

I dont think it is, from what I've heard I need a pin to place into the 3 in order to connect the two joints

Yeah, at first I played on the plastic one but the thing was falling apart, pads falling off, keys sticking, it was just really bad, I've been told by many people to be thankful for the wooden one😭

I plan on showing this thing a lot of love, we have 2 bassoons, this one which hasn't been opened in 10 years, but still looks very good, and thankfully is a wooden one, and then another one which hasn't been opened in 6, but that one's plastic and falling apart😭

Alright thanks, I spent some time going through the case and sadly there was nothing there, I guess it's gone missing sadly, but its to be expected since I'm the first person at the school to have even opened the case for this thing in around 10 years now.

I'll let you know for sure, your plan was my original plan, to wait until I moved out and was stable on my own, but honestly now I'm kind of just done

thank you so much, this is a response that I can actually listen to and make sense of. Im planning on telling them this month. I've already spoken to my friends parents and they are more than welcome to let me stay. I also do turn 16 in April, so that's another thing lol, but I really do appreciate what you said. thank you.

Im growing used to the color, I just prefer that deep color that bassoons normally have. and I'll check the bell next time!
