i have watched this video many times now and i still cannot believe the cohesion. at 2:15, the fact that three bassoons are playing one line with such unity is... mind boggling

[@uniquelyabby0464]

I play the bassoon. I doubt I’ll ever sound this good even after 3 years. Here’s to a 4th year as a bassoonist

[@Ethan-sg8ig]

Same bro happy 4th to the both of us.

[@icelll9790]

y’all got any tips for me? I’m switching from the clarinet to the bassoon

[@uniquelyabby0464]

shadow Yes!!!! Do you have any main concerns? I think the hardest thing is going to be switching from treble to bass clef. You are welcome to ask me any questions

[@Ethan-sg8ig]

[@icelll9790]

Abby Sisson I don’t have any questions, for sure I’ll probably will have questions tomorrow after playing it for the first time.
