Nice job! Love the cell phone Mic remark. Oddly most of your fingerings are pretty much the only multiphonics I have access to on my contra', although The tones produced on my instrument are quite different to what you obtain on your bassoon.
Hi Trent, No videos as yet, but could knock something together soon - they appear in a new piece i'm writing at the moment. My multiphonics are always in partials at or above the chosen note however, never below such as your great demonstration here
Is the idea that the two reeds are actually playing two different pitches, and the combination tone results in the subharmonic? I play clarinet, and I'm wondering if this is possible on a single reed instrument (without hacks like singing a second note).
its possible, but im not sure yet how u do it with it working every time, i did it various times but on accident, but i believe if u experiment like a lot with ur instrument, i think ull get what ur looking for
Just now stumbling across this, does the same thing happen when a singer sings in a subharmonic voice? Or I'm I thinking of a different technique, I don't know. Our voice can do weird things when we train it. Because in the world of vocal bass when we want to have the range of an oktavist, but don't have it in our chest range, we drop out our vocal folds and introduce our false folds. This drops our voice by an octave* giving us the range we so desired. But, we lose tone and timbre in exchange for this range--which is largely dependent on the individual person. Eeeh, just a fun thought. Might be the same thing that's happening. I haven't really found much that explains why our voice can do this, not just bass voices, every voice can do this. *This is a bit of a lie. You do get the octave, but it dynamically mimics your chest voice. So, if E2 is strong you can expect a good E1. But, if your D2 is weak your D1 will be even weaker and toneless.
You should really work with a private teacher to develop basic fingerings and sound production in the standard register. But here is my fingering chart: tjbassoon.com/2020/03/25/bassoon-fingering-chart/ I suggest you pick up a copy of "The First Compete Weissenborn" edited by Frank Morelli.
Rest in peace Trent. You will be missed dearly by the bassoon community. God bless
Good job Trent! High notes next? ;)
Nice job!

Do you have a video of these fingerings on contra? Someone on reddit asked if they worked on contra.

Check your soundcloud inbox :)
I feel bad for the bassoon player I wanted to play a bassoon but i play clarinet and piano and trombone and i always feel intimidated by him
This video is really cool! I play bassoon, and it is really fun.
G ood people yourself nice good instrument
People need to see this . And hear it
For Low F it’s easier to finger a bottom Bb and lift the 3rd finger of the left hand
As a trombone player,
I can barely get down to pedal F, good job!
Pedal F? I can barely get down to pedal Bb.
@@anrandomthing7110i used to play trombone before bassoon, I could get down to a Petal C
What fingerings did you use for the notes below B-flat?
Elliot Kwolek read the description, fingerings are there
Trent Jacobs ok thanks! Sorry I missed that
Great fun. Well done!
Whoa did you go below a Bb? How?
daniel kiwi look in desc
daniel kiwi by using fingerings
Yay contrabass!
Thank you milions :D
Wicked.
Idk how to play that last note
Wowww

Why does it sound so electronic
Multi phonics!

what’s the fingerings for low c? I’m a beginner started playing last week and I wanna try and play a piece!

Damn, it's actually works. So why do i need contrabassoon now? For the half of the octava? Lmao. (Still want to get subcontrabassoon)
I can sing down to that F1
Brown note
SLO poke Rodriguez cartoon
What is that last note I want to learn that
Fingering chart and explanation is in the description.
@@TrentJacobs thanks
Is it really possible to play below Bb1 on a bassoon?! :O
(Edit: Clearly it is; just saw the fingering patterns in the description. :P)
Is that in the normal range of the bassoon? Or is it like reverse altissimo lol
reverse altissimo is actually pretty accurate!
Why?
Why indeed.
W rizz
low A doesn't work for me
