Which is louder a bassoon or a cello?

I will admit that this is a hard question to answer. I have played cello for 45 years and bassoon for 40, and never have been involved in a contest of "which can play louder". Generally, musicians work to make instruments play well together, and both the bassoon and cello have a wide dynamic range, allowing them to play well together. During the Baroque and Classical periods, much music was written for a cello and bassoon to play together.I suppose, since the question has been raised, that a conclusion might be drawn from the orchestra: the modern orchestra usually has 2 or 3 bassoons, but 6 to 12 'cellists. From this, one might decide that bassoons are louder than cellos (it takes 12 cellos to equal 3 bassoons, so one bassoon must be worth 4 cellos) but I suspect that this answer is dubious, at best.Additionally, I have known bassoonists who can play very loud, for long periods of time, and others who are quite gentle in tone and volume. Likewise, there are many cellos built for symphony orchestra and solo use which are quite powerful, but also many which are cultivated for their soft, gentle, soothing tone.So my vote would be that the bassoon and cello are about equally capable of making loudness happen.
