Bret & Ian,

Thank you for your help. I'm glad that neither of you suggested buying a better bassoon as a way to correct the pitches (but bassoon players would never make a smart-aleck comment like that, right?)! I'm happy to learn that what I have is fairly normal.

I did try three other longer famous-brand bocals last spring, and surprisingly enough, the one that came with the horn--a no-namer--was the best of the lot.

I have indeed been consciously trying to lower the pitch with my embouchure--but will check my breath support, too. And I'll see about the key heighths with my repair guy.
