Help with Bassoon Questions
Each day I receive several e-mails with questions stemming from this web site. Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor the knowledge to answer all of them thoroughly, so please read this page before sending a message to me. If, after reading the page, you still want to ask me your question, or if you have additional information for this web site, then please fire away!
- Please read through the rest of the site to see if your question is answered in it! If your question relates to playing the bassoon (e.g. Where can I get reeds/music?), please check out the appropriate page. This may seem obvious, but I get questions all the time which are answered in these pages.
- If your question is not answered on my pages (e.g. Where can I buy a bassoon? For how much can I sell my bassoon? What music should I play? Did Albrechtsberger write any bassoon music?), the best place to ask it is the Doublereed-l mailing list. The people on that list know much more than I do and will probably be much more useful to you. If you are just starting out on the bassoon and have questions about reeds or beginning technique, you might also try Steve Hanna's Tips for Beginning Bassoonists.
- If these pages are not working, please try them again the next day before sending me an email. Every time I have gotten complaints in the past of pages and images not loading, the cause has always been a temporary problem in the Harvard server. If something seems to permanently broken or malfunctioning I would be grateful if you would let me know, but sporadic problems are out of my control.
