Robert, you hit the nail on the head. The band has two bassoonists - 2nd is a highly accomplished player but his attendance is intermittent. 1st Bassoon is an 84 year-old gentleman who is very deaf and plays very, ahem, "distinctively". :) From: "Robert Patterson" > Bassoon can play quit

I apologize, I should have asked what period the music in question was written. But for baroque / early classical music, + was definitely a mordent for trills. On Sat, May 17, 2014 at 6:30 PM, wrote: > I’ve never seen this marking refer to a trill but almost always to > “stopped” which means t

The plus signs indicate stopped horn. Maybe a double reed, or tenor or bari sax in that register would work. On horn the effect is buzzy and nasal. Hope that helps. Don Hart On Saturday, May 17, 2014, Peter Taylor wrote: > Advice please. I'm doing a rush job (as always!) to prepare wind parts

It means hand-stopped. A trombone or trumpet with harmon mute (no stem) might be an acceptable substitute. Or a double reed (oboe or bassoon). On Sat, May 17, 2014 at 5:25 PM, Peter Taylor wrote: > Advice please. I'm doing a rush job (as always!) to prepare wind parts > from > a composer's prin
