In general, there are two types of bassoons. One is the German (Heckel) type, and the other is the French (Buffet). Both styles of bassoons are played today, typically in different countries, with the French bassoon played in France, Canada, Belgium, Latin America, and other romantic countries.

The bassoon's double reed gives it a rich, slightly buzzing quality in the lowest notes and a sweet nasal sound higher up. Bassoons can be extremely expressive as solo instruments and their warm vibrato enables them to sound remarkably human, a little like a resonant baritone singer.

Appearing in its modern form in the 1800s, the bassoon figures prominently in orchestral, concert band, and chamber music literature. The instrument is known for its distinctive tone color, wide range, variety of character, and agility.

two types In the context of the contemporary orchestra, there are only two types of bassoons. The first is the type described above, known as a concert bassoon, or simply a bassoon. There is also a variation called a contrabassoon that plays a full octave lower.

The contrabassoon is a very deep-sounding woodwind instrument that plays in the same sub-bass register as the tuba, double bass, or contrabass clarinet. It has a sounding range beginning at B♭0 (or A0, on some instruments) and extending up over three octaves to D4, though the highest fourth is rarely scored for.

Two reeds tied together are commonly known as a double reed. This double reed fits into a tube at the top of the instrument and vibrates when air is forced between the two reeds.
