Bassoon pickup

thingiverse

Some excellent bocal-mounted pickups are available for bassoon, like the Little Jake, but they are relatively expensive and require bocal cutting. This pickup can be made from about $1 worth of parts and be used without modifying the bocal or bassoon. The downside is that the highest note key on the wing joint (either D or C, depending on your bassoon) can no longer be used while usnig the pickup. 3.5mm jacks are available here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZSX761U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=112 mm piezo disks are available here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073RKDLCJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Here's a demo video of the pickup in action:https://youtube.com/shorts/Lq881xodx60?si=y_w3OEu8FtnfkI1b
