I play both the bassoon and the contrabassoon and there is a noticeable difference between the reeds. My contra reed is 2 3/4 inches long and 3/4 wide at the tip compared to a normal bassoon reed which is about 2 1/4 inches long and about 9/16 wide at the tip. The most noticeable difference is when switching form contra to bassoon.

What is the bassoon and what is its origin?
The bassoon is a member of the double reed family and a part of the woodwind section of the ensemble. They are very closely related. No, the bassoon is in a family of its own. However, both are related in the sense that they are double reed instruments. The bassoon and the oboe are two of the four members in the double reed family. The other two members are the contra bassoon and the English horn.
