Hi Guys! Here are my Tips and Tricks for Choosing a Bassoon to Buy! Finding the colors, intonation, and making sure the bassoon is in good repair before you spend any money.
AND- Not mentioned in the Video but SHOULD BE is the Vendor B.H. Bell. The Bell Bassoons are a Canadian brand that is quickly becoming popular for the high quality bassoons with a range of colors and sounds. If you are looking for an instrument Ben Bell is well known for matching instruments and a bassoonist's specific needs. Currently the Canadian dollar is low- it could work in finding an extra special deal! :)

+Ethan Johnson (Tinyman) How Fantastic! I can't wait to hear what you buy. Be sure to look into the Bell Bassoons mentioned in the description box and blog. It would be a great time to get a good deal with the Canadian dollar! Keep me posted.

I love every video you do, Eryn. Actually I enjoy all the RU-vid stuff your family does. Since I'm a former bassoonist and now a bass trombonist (for many years) I get good things from your brother's and Dad's videos also.

Great video! I'm pondering my future as a bassoonist. I will never be a pro, and I currently play on a Fox Model III, which was perfect when I bought it while I was on active duty in the Navy, as I literally hauled it all over the world. Now, however, I am wondering if a wooden bassoon would serve me better. I'm wondering if switching to a wood bassoon would make a huge difference. Have you played a Fox III (or IV)? What did you think? Would a Renard or Puchner serve me better now? I am a very happy second bassoonist, so have no need for projection or soloistic qualities, and prefer that warm, blending characteristic that the bassoon is so good at. Appreciate your thoughts.

+Paul Webb Great to hear from you! If you are happy with what you have- then no worries! I find that the wooden instruments (when made well) have a more dense and rich color palette. Every time I have found a new instrument and upgraded it pushed my playing to a new level. Again, it's about finding what is right for you and your needs. :)

Hello. I have been watching your videos for some time and I have been wondering: How are you able to stay in tune. I switched from clarinet to bassoon about 3 months ago and I am having the hardest time keeping certain notes in tune and others sounding nice. I don't know if it is the bassoon or the embouchure, but every time I try and play a C# , E and E flat on the staff, it is always incredibly out of tune. Sometimes the E reads as an E flat and the C# reads as a C that is just relatively sharp. I would love if you would create a blog post maybe even a video on ways that I may be able to improve my intonation.

+Brainsicles Hi there! Thanks for watching and great to hear from you. The E and the C-sharp are two notes that lose stability as reeds die. If when you first buy a reed it is flat on those notes- the reed may be too long, the first wire not secure, etc. My best guess from your comment is that your set up isn't matching the reed. If you have a shorter bocal- (Smaller Number) try that- it could help. Or order shorter reeds. :) Hope this helps!

@dylantharp87 8 лет назад

Eryn Oft Thank you for the quick reply! I did further testing with a reed that was on its way out (the opening was a smile and was extremely flat) today and when I cut it shorter, the stability seemed to improve quite a bit with all of the notes, especially the E and C sharp.

@erynoft 8 лет назад

+Brainsicles Good! Glad to help! Try to keep the length consistent in all of your reeds. It can help you create a consistent use of air and embouchure. GOOD LUCK to you! :)

Hello Eryn !! i'm studying Bassoon in Brazil... I love to watch your videos!! :D I have a question... Mirafone Basson is a good brand ? i want to buy a instrument, but bassoons are a quite expensive :( My family does not have much money...

@erynoft 8 лет назад

+nitai chandra g. Aiello Thanks for Watching- I'm so glad you like them. I must admit I do not have experience with Mirafone so I can't give you a positive or negative on this. I suggest- try it. If you love it, you're on the right track. And have a professional near you look at it for scary things- like broken keys, rot, etc. Wish I could be more help! :)

+Eryn Oft Hey there! I was accepted to the school of my dreams for music and I am going there with bassoon! I just recently bought my very first bassoon. I had my Professor at the school try out my instrument and make sure it was a good instrument and it turned out to be great for what I wanted/needed. Although this bassoon is not a common name brand bassoon. It's the Oscar Adler Sonora brand. If you have any information on the Adler company that'd be great! The only information i found was that it was a German company, it's a brand not really sold in the USA but usually in Europe, and that i found the serial number and i know what year my specific instrument was made. According to bassoons.org. Is there any website or information you have? It'd be great! Thanks!
