THE F WORD FOR BASSOON 

I can't believe you're 43. Also we need more videos like this.

Other languages: exist English speakers: THAT'S A SLURR

The French for "oboe" is spelled exactly the same as the German (which is undoubtedly where German got it), and it literally means "high wood". ("Basson", incidentally, literally means "low sound". "Bas son".) But "hautbois" in French isn't pronounced "hotboy". It's pronounced almost exactly the same as the English word. The second syllable is a little different -- "oh-bwah". French has a lot of silent (or nearly silent) letters.

"I remember when I first found out about the bassoon's real name. I was in sixth grade..." Oh... no...

You cannot expect me to believe you're in your 40s. I can believe mid 20s, max.

I’m dying, thank you for starting this conversation 🤣🤣

The trombone used to be called a “sackbut” Not kidding

It got progressively more intense and I lost it after CORNO

I was sceptic to your channel but editing was so good and the humour was totally like mine so I’ve subscribed 🤩

Meanwhile the English horn being French and the French horn being German 0_0 For context I'm a male oboe player:)

Moving from Germany to France with my instrument, I had to learn that both words are used - and it is not exactly the same instrument either. The French "basson" has different fingering and sounds slightly more nasal than the bassoon (not daring to use the German word here😏). Thanks for the funny explanation. By the way, in today's French, "f**ot" is still a bundle of sticks.... and on a similar subject: In 8th grade I attended a US school and turned up at band practice with my "recorder" since the school's dictionary provided "flute" for "Flöte".😕

It's always a funny thing, even as a German when we say, that we play the Fagott, people knowing the F-word are giggling. Besides, if I may, there must have been a mix-up: in German the oboe is also called Oboe, Hautbois is french :) which is a bit funny too, cause it literally means "high wood"... chrm.

I don't need to imagine it because I play the oboe 😂. After watching this video I won't be able to stop laughing every time I hear the name of my instrument. Worst of all, a fellow musician made a pun of his name and the oboe in German for his social media and used a photo of him without a shirt, now I understand everything🤣. And yes, it's funny that the bassoon looks like a stretch of tied branches. 10/10 your video👍🏻😆 Excuse me if my translation is not very accurate but I am one of the people who calls flutes “flautas”

Lol. When you brought out the trombone, I first thought that you were going to bring up the sackbut. I was a bassoon player in high school, but now my main instrument is viola, and the German word for that is Bratsche...which makes one think that we're a bunch of brats, but it's actually derived from the Italian "viola da braccio" (arm) as a distinction from "viola da gamba" (leg). But maybe we are also brats.

The french pronociation is the better

The title is 'Symphony no. 6 in B minor' !

I remember doing one of this intro/about me slideshows for my Spanish speakers class and wanting to put that I played bassoon so I went onto trusty google translate and learned it translated to Fagot, even though I can technically say that I still wrote Bassoon

I had to laugh when I heard your pronouncation of our German "Posaune", because with you it sounded quite dirty and remembered of a word in porn language. When pronouncing the German "au", it's like the English "ow" or "oww" in the longer form.

I'm a trombonist and it originated in England around the 1500s and trombone is roughly Italian for big trumpet

Oboe or Hautbois in French is pronounced: How-t-Bwu-awww Also a Bassoonist here, I never made the foreign language joke of bundle of sticks 'actually' meaning a homosexual. I made it my business to look up the pronunciation and be educated instead of being vulgar for comedic effect. Mostly these days I bring my instrument out to do the Christmas Volunteer Orchestra that gets together for my church and I do have some nice parts as a result. I've also picked up Pipe Organ too and enjoy them both for different reasons. Bassoon if I want to have the nice solos or passages in orchestral music and Organ if I really want to show off.

This is really great stuff! Bundle of sticks!!..... as fuel!! Yes!!

Is that really why everybody was questioning. I’m Puerto Rican and in Spanish we call it Fagot instead of Bassoon.

Hautbois and Bubens 😍🥴

When i found out the name in Germam, i looked at my band director and was like "Its me!*

hautbois is french. in german its also just called oboe

Ah the german name for Bassoon really is amazing. But its alr, a decent amount of musicians are rather fruity

Nah. In german we just say "oboe"

That Bolero Video You Posted Was Funny

IM THE GOAT AT THE D FLAT SCALE GRRRRRRRRRRR

I knew the flute one

Acá en Latinoamérica se le llama Fagot, como en Alemania pero con una *t* menos

cant believe im a bassoon.

in dutch the oboe is called a hobo

Of course it had to be the time I go to an honor band 😭

i got banned from an English server for accidentally saying the German name

In Spanish is also said fagot. I didn't know it meant that!

The RV484 in the back makes me happy

*It's missing an O, not an S. Basson

Heyyy

you look 20. what are you talking about

YOURE 43????????

No way you're in your 40s
