The bassoon is considered rare primarily due to its complexity and the specialized skills required to play it. Its intricate design and large size make it more challenging to manufacture and maintain compared to other woodwind instruments. Additionally, the bassoon's unique sound and role in orchestras mean that fewer musicians choose to pursue it, resulting in a smaller pool of players. This combination of factors contributes to its rarity in both educational settings and professional ensembles.
