Hello Surprenant, I agree with you totally. I started on oboe and moved to bassoon. Bassoon reeds do last longer, and it is less resistant to blow air through a bassoon than an oboe. Half-hole plate doesn't really work on bassoon, because depending on the note, one has to 1/4 hole, 1/2 hole or 3/4 hole. I recall cracking the Ab in a solo during an orchestra competition in the Hong Kong Schools' Music Festival. Only years later did I learn that for Ab it should be closer to 1/4 hole.
Are you a native of Hong Kong by the way? I am from there.
