Re: Why do you play the bassoon? The space between the keys on the bassoon stretched my fingers painfully when I tried to play one once.
As for the fingering system... the entire bloody instrument is like the upper altissimo register of the clarinet!!!
Apart from that, it wasn't at all difficult to play.

Re: Why do you play the bassoon? Ew! Nice fingering then(!) Although most of it is done by thumb keys, I do know that. Yick!

Re: Why do you play the bassoon? Nor am I. Come to think of it, maybe I shouldn't play bassoon!
