RE: Bassoon mouthpieces

The oboe mouthpiece on eBay sold for an astronomical price because it was a Chedeville. Another one, without a "name," came up a month or so later and got no bids.

Several years ago, I met a fellow who was an excellent oboist and clarinetist. He had an oboe mouthpiece and sounded like a pretty good oboe on it, though not as good as with a real oboe reed. He said he used it for marching band.

I know that a bassoon version exists, but haven't heard one. The little bassoon playing I've done showed me that bassoon embouchure is not too hard to learn -- much easier than the fingering.

Best regards.
