ZacMan,
First, Contrabass Clarinet is awsome. Dont expect anything to ever be as cool as contra. Bassoon, by the nature of double reeds, involves alot of changes to embouchure, it is both top and bottom of the reed that vibrates, and it most be supported from all sides. If you play a low C bass or contra, then you will be used to using all your fingers and thumbs, but be warned Bassoon has 11 (and up) keys for your thumbs, alternative fingerings exist in their dozens for alot of notes esp in the tenor register, and it is much harded. rather illogical instrument is Bassoon, even if it is one of the cooler sounding instruments in the world.
