Re: What notes can the bassoon play without a whisper key?

I think you're much better off going for a bassoon with a whisper key as well as the high A and C keys. The high D and a whisper lock aren't too important on a beginner or student instrument, though they're useful to have on intermediate and pro bassoons.

I just had a look at the Linton you mentioned and it's very basic, and there are ones listed on there that have more keywork for less money and will also last you much longer due to the higher keywork spec.
