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 bassoon has a double reed fixture that is the mouthpiece of the instrument and is what gives it its unique timbre. The reed is put on a bocal, which connects the reed to the bassoon in the best way possible.
