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.
A sax reed is made of bamboo. The solidity depends on the demand of the notes intended to be played. The part that attaches the reed with the mouthpiece is called the ligature, which is made from leather, metal or plastic. The crook is the part that links the mouthpiece with the body.One end is cork, and fixes into the mouthpiece; the other is shaped like a joint of metal, fastened by screws to the body. sax is made in parts, which are assembled later to form the instrument. We will explain each part and the way it is produced to keep the information systematic and easier to understand.
