I played alongside a French bassoonist a couple of years ago. Although I felt I was playing louder than he was musician friends in the audience found his sound carried better than mine. I often regret changing from "basson" to "Fagott" ' but as I was studying in Berlin at the time the move was inevitable. However the French bassoon is less easily played than the Heckel if the reed is not quite as it should be,
My last teacher, Cecil James, played the French instrument all his life and could cut through a 100-piece orchestra with no difficulty. and without sounding less than beautiful. If you fancy learning this system go for it!
