Jaysne,

There's nothing too surprising on your tuning chart. The bassoon tends toward sharpness in general, and that upper 'solo' range tends to be better in tune.

The bassoon embouchure should be flexible and needs to move around a bit to keep things in tune--keep things nice and open and bring your chin downward to lower the pitch.

You could possibly use a longer bocal or even pull yours out just a little, but the in-tune-ness of your upper register suggests that the setup you've got is probably okay.

Good luck!
Bret
