bassoon

Japanese: bassoon
bassoon

...A type of wind instrument played with a double reed. Its name means "bundle" and comes from its appearance, which resembles a collection of pieces of wood of different shapes and sizes. Its other name, bassoon, is thought to come from basson (French for "low pitch") or bassone (Italian for "low and large"). It has a conical tube whose diameter gradually widens, and is over 2.5 meters long, but it is folded back in a U-shape halfway down, so the length of the instrument is only about 1.3 to 1.4 meters.

*Some of the terminology that mentions "bassoon" is listed below.
