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.

The '''contrabassoon''', or double bassoon is even larger and lower in [[pitch]]. Its range is exactly one [[octave]] below the bassoon, but is written in the same range, thus making it a [[transposing instrument]]. (See [[Oboe]] family.)
