Hello all. I am wanting to take the bassoon up. I play flute and cello but have always yearned to play the bassoon. I had a go on one today at orchestra and will hire one to start with. However, there seem to be very few places to hire from in the UK and the one’s that do, have a waiting list. Does anyone have any suggestions? I also wonder, as an adult, whether to start on a short reach one as I have sore joints….? What do you think? Will it hamper progression? Thanks
