It isn't extremely hard, but it is suggested that one plays another instrument before attempting the bassoon. It should be one from the woodwind section, preferably one that uses a/an reed/reeds.

What do you call a person that plays the bassoon?

Typically the double bassoon (or contrabassoon) is given to the third or fourth chair bassoon, leaving the principal bassoon to play the 1st bassoon part and the 2nd chair bassoon to play the 2nd bassoon part. In some cases the double bassoon part is an auditioned spot, meaning that someone specifically auditioned for the double bassoon.
