Fingering Diagrams

Click on note for view of fingerings

 

• The following demostrates fingerings for certain pitches on the bassoon.
• These were chosen because of special concerns, or common errors.
• On the fingering charts, if a key or tone hole is pictured with diagonal lines instead of being totally blackened in, this means its use is optional.
