Cuvillier

Cuvillier was a 19th-century instrument maker who is most notable for creating the bassoon, a woodwind instrument that has a deep, resonant sound and is often used in orchestral and chamber music. The Cuvillier bassoon is characterized by its distinctive design and craftsmanship, featuring a long, cylindrical body, a flared bell, and a system of keys and pads for controlling pitch. The instrument is typically made of wood and metal, and it is known for its warm, rich tone.
