[[Image:Bassoons.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Several types of bassoons from different periods]]
The '''bassoon''' is a double reed instrument, like the [[oboe]], but with a lower and reedier tone. Music for the bassoon is mostly written in the bass clef, with most of its notes below Middle C. The range of a bassoon is approximately 3 octaves, ranging from B flat (2 octaves below Middle C) to C (1 octave above Middle C). It is approximately 4' 6" in length.
