bassoon blog: The behavior of bassoon sound waves
http://bassoonblog.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-behavior-of-bassoon-sound-waves.html

http://bassoonblog.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Musings of a professional bassoonist. Thursday, February 20, 2014. High F (Bernstein Symphonic Dances). I strongly suspect that professional bassoonists spend more time consulting fingering charts (for bassoon! Than any other professional instrumentalists. Our instrument has infinite fingering options for many of the notes in our range. In fact, I have even made up some of my own fingerings which I have never seen on any charts. That hope was delusional! With the combination of a high reed, an embouchure...

https://conductorsblog.com/2013/12/05/the-tuning-wars
Brian St. John. December 5, 2013. As conductors, we are (usually) preoccupied with tuning. One of my edicts is to have the orchestra tune “mindfully.” I regularly coach my groups to tune thoughtfully, and with a beautiful sound. But… do we. Know when we’re in tune? I mean, of course we do, right? Certainly we can hear when we are. Of tune. But, how “in tune” is being “in tune? I am having a bit of fun here, but it is a fascinating question. Check out this great article about tuning systems. The Past is i...
