Bass and tenor clef (bass more commonly used).
Clefs exist to make the notes easier to read, by placing the majority of them within the confines of each staff. If you used two of the same clefs, like the treble, the lower notes would exist solely on leger lines, which, the farther the get from the satff, the more difficult they are to read.
It's not the easiest to pick up, but it's not tremendously difficult to get started on, either. The hardest part is embouchure, that is getting your mouth in the correct shape to get the best sound out of the reed. After that, it's no more challenging than any other wind instrument. Bassoon also doesn't transpose, although you may find yourself learning two different clefs.
I am just not interested in playing the bassoon.
the oboe and the bassoon use double reeds. So do the English horn (a larger kind of oboe) and the contra-bassoon (a larger bassoon.)
The Clefs was created in 1963.
The bassoon is a member of the double reed family and a part of the woodwind section of the ensemble. They are very closely related. No, the bassoon is in a family of its own. However, both are related in the sense that they are double reed instruments. The bassoon and the oboe are two of the four members in the double reed family. The other two members are the contra bassoon and the English horn.
The clefs in music scores appears way down in the Medieval period: centuries before the modern notation came into practice. The ancient clefs had no names such as treble clef or bass clef. Some of oldest clefs are F clef and G clef. They had no fixed position in the staff: also known as dynamic clefs. The alto clef and tenor clefs are two positions derived from the ancient C clef.
Les Clefs's population is 472.
It's a movable clef that can theoretically be positioned anywhere, but alto and tenor clefs are the two primary uses of it.
Usually eight players, with two each on flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon.
The area of Les Clefs is 18.47 square kilometers.
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.
