Playing "loud" on the bassoon is all about air support, a good embouchure, and a good reed. You can't play loud if any of them are missing. Typically when bassoon players play loud they want to drop their jaw which causes them to go flat, especially on the low notes, so be sure not to do much change to your embouchure. Loud on the bassoon is mainly caused by air support. A good air stream with plenty of pressure and wind will cause you to play "loud" on 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.
