 The Bassoon BBoard

I have a Buffet French bassoon as well as two German bassoons (one Heckel and one Chinese student model), and I can attest that the modern German bassoon is louder than the modern French bassoon. The French bassoon is much more difficult to play (scale much less even in tone and in intonation, requires correction). All but the very oldest French bassoons have lining on the wind joint as well as on one side of the boot. The French bassoon has fewer keys on the boot and a different key layout in general. The keys are mounted as rods (as on oboes and flutes) instead of as levers (as on German bassoons).
I hope this helps!
