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.
.........you're kidding right.
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.
A bassoon can play 4 octaves.
I'm certain it will make a noise but it won't play nearly as well with a bassoon reed.
No, it does not.
No, sadly. The bassoon is one of the most uncommon instruments that their is in a band (except the recorder, which is about number two on the unpopular scale). If you want to play a unique instrument, then you should play bassoon.
