Nice to see someone giving Ravel a shout-out. I don't remember the story, but I think it goes that a ww1 soldier lost his right hand during the war, which sucked because he was a concert pianist. He commissioned Ravel to write him musical pieces that were solely for the left hand.

@agogobell28 Год назад

I think I may prefer it's timbre other the classic bassoon. Which could be my novelty bias, since the instruments don't seem to be different enough to produce noticeably distinct timbres*. *Color of sound (not pitch alone)

I’m so ignorant. I didn’t even know what a contrabassoon was, but after hearing it, I am sure I have heard it before. It’s a beautiful instrument. Isn’t it amazing how many instruments there are in the world. Whenever I meet a musician, I am always curious to learn why of all the instruments in the world, why did they choose that one? It’s fascinating. Sometimes they join the school band and there’s no tuba player and they become one. Anyway I want to learn more about this instrument now.
