FAQ
How to play it?
You simply blow into it, and it’s not just a joke: the densoon remains a real wind instrument!!
If you don’t know it, it’s best to train with the double reed embouchure first!
Shows you how the fabulous professor of the bassoon class at the Milan conservatory, Leonardo Dosso!
(Some example videos coming soon!)
Then, everything depends on precisely following the tablature of the positions: have you seen that they are identical to that of the recorder you played in primary school?!
Now: a little practice and…
would you like to send us a video of you playing the densoon? We would be delighted to share it in our news!
Using the same recorder fingering, has the densoon the same limited octaves extension?
Definitely not! The densoon is a bassoon, as a wind instrument: mouthing, timbre and extension; its 3 and a half octaves are quite the same!
Controlled by three octave selectors, in the same positions where the recorder octave hole is: actioned by the left hand thumb.
Who can play it?
Anyone who wants it!
You don’t have to be particularly tall, or short, or thin, or fat, or strong, or weak, for a densoon. You just have to have a great will to play it!
