probably the best instrument ever.
not a dying duck, but a cool thing.
very hard to play.
must be good at blowing and moving fingers fast.
also you loose breath fast and it's very expensive.
makes people jealous.

The larger of the two standard double reed instruments in the orchestra. It resembles a Victorian bedpost and one must have double jointed thumbs to play it! It can play in the bass range, however it's most lyrical range is in the tenor.
The bassoon starts the symphony off in the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

A bassoon is a musical instument that some say looks like a bong. Traditionally, it's made of wood, but they can be made of this crappy plastic stuff. (plastic bassoons don't sound near as nice as the wooden ones.)
Bassoons produce a dark rich tone in the hands of an experienced player. However, anyone else sounds like they're killing a large beast.

Generally, bassoon players have very little luck in love and very little action in bed. This word can define a player's personality, or be used as an insult, when said to someone very much the same way Bugs Bunny says "What a maroon!"
Trombonist: "You're such a dork."
Clarinetist: "At least I've got a girlfriend, you bassoon."
Trombonist: "Ouch, no need to get nasty."

An incredibly expensive instrument that makes a noise equivalent to a trombone mouthpiece. It is probably the least important instrument in the band.
I could play the bassoon part on my mouthpiece, and the directer wouldn't know the difference.
I thought someone killed a duck, but it was just a bassoon behind me.
