Has anyone yet found out what all the extra keywork on this instrument was for. I found a reference to low-A bassons being made by Buffet and Mahillon (quoting...

Dear all, Yesterday I tried the slur fingering for the high Bb, which is given by Allard as x x 0 | 0 x G a E Somehow I cannot make it sound in tune or...
Dear all, I am working on the Poulenc Duet for Clarinet and Bassoon (the bassoon part). In the second movement, the bassoon part has the instruction "bien lie...
Dear Wai-Kit and all ... I just checked my page with Maurice Allard's handwriting on liaison fingerings - the fingering you list is correct. There is no need...
Hello Wai-Kit and all, I re-read my prior post and I meant to say, "There is no need to add the left small finger C# key to play the high B flat liaison...
Hi Wai Kit, I believe the word "lié" is one of the French musical terms for slur, but the French verb "lier" (infinitive form) also means to connect. Since...
Hi Wai Kit, et al: In Ron Klimko's interview with Gilbert Audin published in the Double Reed back in 1999, Audin comments on the difficulty of this particular...
Peter, Thanks for pointing out the Audin-Klimko interview (and Guy, thanks for the exact link). I didn't realize that the edition of the Poulenc Sonata I have...
Speaking of the difficulty of downward slurs on the French bassoon, I'm working on Eugene Bozza's Contrastes I for flute and bassoon. I'm having a terrible...
Dear Charlie (et al) I can understand your difficulty with that Bozza passage. I would speak first about other ways to finger the D3 : 1. be sure to almost...
Gerald Corey, Thanks so much for your quick response to my question. I do normally add the Ab key, but on my instrument it's still flat and weak. When I can,...
Dear Charlie (et al) I would not suggest leaving the low F key off of the english preferred fingering for D3, it makes my note way too sharp. The tone is...
Dear Charlie, You also mention the adjacent B flats; be sure to blow them as you would an open F natural on a fagott, and finger exactly in Maurice Allard's...
I'm playing on a Jancourt-system Buffet, made probably in the first decade of the 1900s. It's an oldie, and it's probably "blown out," but I got it last year...

Dear all, Just wondering: should the "clef de bocal" be added to the slur fingering for the tenor G? Allard doesn't indicate that in his books. (and same for...
Hello Wai Kit (et al) I did 2 things; the first was to check my hand-written fingerings given me by Maurice Allard in summer 1972. He marks the G3 liaison as...

Dear Wai Kit and all- This fingering also needs the right hand low E thumb hole to be covered. Try that. I also think that the RH 2,3 is not right. Try 2 and...
