The Bassoon
Apple Music Classical
While not the most famous instrument, and sometimes unfairly seen as comical, the bassoon has had surprising staying power in terms of its place in the orchestra. Achieving popularity in some form during the Renaissance (albeit by a different name—the dulcian), it’s remained relevant throughout history.
