I agree with Wes, you can play both clarinet and bassoon.
I am primarily a clarinetist but do also play bassoon and find the embouchure and breath pressures etc fairly consistent between them.
I play the clarinet using a double lip embouchure (no upper teeth placed on the top of the mouthpiece) which I think helps but this is not to suggest that you need to use, or change to, using double lip on the clarinet.
I have seen several old Lark instruments in the past (but not a Lark bassoon) and sadly was not very impressed with their quality. However as long as it is in good adjustment then it should be OK to start with. Then if you really take to it an upgrade can be considered.
Best of luck with them both.
