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 range is one octave below that of the b-flat soprano clarinet. Ever since its invention in the late 18th century, the bass clarinet has evolved into the instrument that is used in orchestras and bands. The bass clarinet is made of grenadilla wood or African blackwood and is approximately 4 1/2 feet long.
