∙ 11y agoThe bassoon is an instrument classified as a woodwind instrument.
It is large instrument and is 4.4 feet (1.34 m) tall. It is played through a double reed and is different than other woodwind instruments whereas the Saxophone or Clarinet would only have one reed that is secured onto its corresponding mouthpiece. The bassoon has a double reed fixture that is the mouthpiece of the instrument and is what gives it its unique timbre. The reed is put on a bocal, which connects the reed to the bassoon in the best way possible.
Being a bassoonist myself I had to edit the answer!
