How long does it take to make a videogame?
Well as a programmer, it takes as long as you want. If you want an amazing, very long, fun, well programmed game it takes about 1-4 years. If it's just a simple flash game like what you play on the internet probably just a few months. I made a pretty fun game that takes about an hour to beat the story mode, and that only took me about a month to make.
The Bassoon was initially invented for creating music especially bass music. It is widely used in opera, symphony orchestra, movie soundtrack, television and more.
Many vehicles have a brake pad wear sensor on the wheels. Once the brake pads wear down the sensor is designed to make a really annoying, high-pitched grinding sound... just like the one you described. My guess is that you need brake pads.
Who played bassoon on the Miracles' hit Tears of a Clown?
Charles R. Sirard (1911 - 1990) bassoonist. The I.D.R.S. is saddened to report the death of Charles Sirard in Paris, Tennessee, on June 14, 1990. For 28 years, Charles was principal bassoon of the Detroit Symphony, retiring in 1977. Prior to that he was a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony under Fritz Reiner and the CBS Symphony in New York. Charles' many years of service to symphony orchestras will be long remembered. He was, however, also an accomplished soloist. In reviewing a performance of two bassoon concerti many years ago a critic for the Detroit Times wrote the following tribute: It is his normal lot to work in relative obscurity, sprinkling the tones of his instrument like a pungent spice into the mass of orchestra] sound. However, on December 2 he played the solo part in two concertos for bassoon and orchestra with tremendous success. The solo line calls upon the bassoon to run the gamut of its possibilities. Sirard met the test magnificently. In fact, while listening to him play we were obliged to expand considerably our impression of the bassoon's gamut. Also, other portions of great beauty and dignity and Sirard's sensitive, intelligent treatment of these passages provided a stirring revelation of the poignant, ethereal tonal beauty of which the bassoon is capable. Sirard was the bassoonist performing in the popular song "Tears of a Clown" by Smoky Robinson and the Miracles."
What type of instrument are the oboe and bassoon?

What are bassoons made out of?
Bassoons are normally made out of wood for a better tone. But most beginners and middle schools will use a plastic bassoon due to budget or because it's easier to control.
How do you play loud on a bassoon?
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.
Why would the bassoon and the contrabassoon be to hard to play standing?
Cuz you gotta hold it, (it's heavy) and you gotta press keys all over while you hold the thing.
Is the oboe and bassoon are alike?
The oboe and bassoon are members of the double-reed family. This means that they produce their sounds by means of a reed which is made up of two pieces of 'reed' (Arundo Donax, actually a type of cane) which allow air to pass between them. The vibration of these reeds against each other produces the sound which is modified for pitch and tone by the body of the instrument, the fingering pattern used, and the effect of lips on the reed and the oral cavity around it. Notes are started and stopped with the tongue, in both cases. Both instruments have a (mostly) conical bore, and overblow at the octave.
Beyond that, much is different between the two instruments. The oboe derives from the Shawm family of renaissance instruments, while the bassoon hails from the dulcian/fagott family, which are distinguished from other renaissance reed instruments in having the characteristic conical bore which is folded. The bassoon bore travels from the reed to the 'wing joint' perpindicular to the rest of the bassoon's body through the "bocal". The wing joint bore leads directly into the 'boot joint' bore, then folds at the bottom of the instrument and returns parallel to itself through the 'bass joint' and the bell.
Both instruments are fingered through a combination of open holes, closed by the pads of the fingers, and keys. The oboe's system is quite complicated, while the bassoon's basic octaves are fingered in a simple manner. The complex keys of the bassoon are limited, largely, to extending the range up into higher harmonics of the tube, and down the bell to the lowest notes. The oboe's keying simultaneously adjusts for irregularities in the bore's porting and extends the range.
The oboe belongs to its own family, the oboe family, which currently consists of the oboe, the oboe d'amore and English horn, and the baritone or bass oboe. The oboe and English horn are very common and moderately common in the symphony orchestra and symphonic bands. The oboe d'amore has an extensive baroque literature. The baritone oboe is limited to a few orchestral pieces where it is invoked for effect, such as Gustav Holsts' "The Planets."
The bassoon also has its own family, consisting of two instruments in common use now: the bassoon and the contrabassoon. The contrabassoon sounds an octave lower than the bassoon, and doesn't have as high a range, relatively speaking. It is used for effect as well as for reinforcement of the lower instruments of the orchestra. It is most noticeable in Ravel's "Sourceror's Apprentice" where it has a solo passage (associated in the Mickey Mouse segment of the original Fantasia with the chopped-up broom pieces starting to move again!)
