thanks for explaining the angled tone holes, as a non-bassoon woodwind player i've been looking at these instruments wondering how holes in those positions could possibly produce the range of pitches... i thought it might be something like that, was cool to hear it confirmed! also the playing was beautiful!
I didn’t catch the pepper grinder resemblance until I saw the bassoon bell. How amazing! I’ve been playing the bassoon for the past three years. I learned to play on a modern bassoon. Now that I’m feeling confident with my playing, I’d love to try a baroque bassoon. Something tells me I’ll have fun with it! (-:
