The bassoon has the most keys out of any instrument. It has 9 keys for the left thumb alone, 4 for the right thumb, 4 keys and 2 holes for the left hand and 6 keys and 2 holes for the right hand. This makes a total of 23 keys and 4 holes.
Well the bassoon has many names just like any instrument, and like many low-playing instruments, the bassoon in English has the word "bass" used in the name, but "bassoon" isn't the instruments first name. The first names of the bassoon were, Fag0tt, Fag0tt0, or Fag0t, depending on which language or region the printed music was made in.
Student models generally have 8 keys on the top back and 2 in front, as well as 8 keys on the bottom half (4 front and 4 back). It depends on the model. A Pro Line model would have 9 keys on the top back. So depending still on which model you are looking at, it would have 18 or 19 keys.
Music historians generally consider the dulcian to be the forerunner of the modern bassoon, as the two instruments share many characteristics: a double reed fitted to a metal crook, obliquely drilled tone holes, and a conical bore that doubles back on itself. The origins of the dulcian are obscure, but by the mid-16th century it was available in as many as eight different sizes, from soprano to great bass. An alternate view maintains Hotteterre was one of several craftsmen responsible for the development of the early bassoon in the 1950's.
Yes, a German bassoon and a french bassoon

The bassoon has changed many, many times before.

bassoon players are mossly famose because there are not many of them

Keys can be made of almost any solid material. Most modern keys are made of brass, aluminum, or various alloys that are of similar durability yet softness. The keys for old mortise door locks were made of iron. Many locks made in the middle ages and earlier used keys made of wood.
