Machine Design or Mechanical Design. This is the series of articles on Machine Design or Mechanical Design. Machine design and drawing are very important subjects of mechanical engineering. No produce can be manufactured without designing it.
Bassoons are usually made from maple wood. Like the oboe the bassoon is played with a double reed. To make a sound the player blows through the double reed which is attached to a crook leading into the main body of the instrument. Bassoon players change the pitch of the notes by pressing different combinations of keys.
The range of the bassoon begins at Bâ­1 (the first one below the bass staff) and extends upward over three octaves, roughly to the G above the treble staff (G5). Higher notes are possible but difficult to produce, and rarely called for: orchestral and concert band parts rarely go higher than C5 or D5.
