For a bassoonist, that must require 3 instruments. I would need a piece of
added pvc pipe to make a Heckel play that low, and I can't imagine one with
enough flexibility to make the other changes without a saw. From 440 to 444
makes a saw tempting. Bocals don't vary much more than 4 Hz and that just
isn't enough.
