Subj: RE: [DR-L] Playing contrabassoon
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2003 18:24:16 -0500

A side question/remark: I find it extremely difficult to make sudden
switches from contra to bassoon (but not the reverse). When playing
contra+bassoon on Mahler, my bassoon sound is considerably worse than
normal. It's almost entirely because of the change in reeds and
embouchure. Do other people notice this as well? Aside from the lack of
quality instruments available to me, this has always been one of the only
drawbacks to playing contra.
