Bassoon Fingering Chart

The following bassoon fingering chart represents the best fingerings available for the bassoon, based on

intonation and tone quality. There are many alternate fingerings available for the bassoon but most are

either out of tune or cause the note to sound very poorly and should only be used under very special

conditions and not as a base fingering.

Special attention should be paid to the fingerings of notes marked with a number. These are some of the

most commonly misunderstood notes of which many fingering charts substitute poor fingerings for the

more stable fingerings listed here. Brief explanations on each of these fingerings are included on page 4.
