I have to hand it to you guys. It’s not too often that I am in utter amazement, but when he said that this was THE contrabassoon that premiered Music for the Royal Fireworks, my jaw hit the floor. That is truly amazing that it’s survived all these centuries and is still being played!

One of my ancestors, named Candido Passavanti, was actually the contrabassoonist who played in Beethoven’s orchestra. It never occurred to me to wonder before, but now I’m curious to know if his instrument has survived and is perhaps still being played.

There’s one baroque contrabassoon in Australia which gets shuttled back and forth between Sydney and Melbourne. The guy who usually plays it impresses me every single time with his intonation and agility. Maybe the difference is that this instrument was made more recently than Handel’s time…

I see a lot of joke comments, but on a more serious note, I totally get it. This is actually a pretty cool instrument. This beast was probably pushing the technology of the day to its brink, but here it is. It still exists, it still plays, and it sounds quite alright! It's quite apparent that, for better or for worse, it has a lot of "personality" but I understand how that can be an enjoyable part of playing an instrument. All of my least favorite horns are the ones that do all the hard work for me.

I copied the original in Dublin museum back around 1998 with Graham Lyndon Jones. One for me and the other for him, if I recall, David Chatterton bought mine to compliment the Tauber Classical era contra I made for him in 1986 housed at the Bate Collection in Oxford where I did my PHD. It is unclear if David is playing the Dublin original or my copy? He was and is master of these instruments over the last four decades.
