German bassoons are generally made from maple with a lined descending bore (in plastic or ebonite) to prevent moisture damage, though some older German bassoons have been made in rosewood (as are French bassoons, though they have been made in maple too, as well as ebonite), as well as in various plastics. You'd always expect to buy a top model (German) bassoon made from maple.
I don't know if beech has been used for woodwinds - is beech more dense than maple? I'd imagine it may be.
