The Fingerings page on 2reed.net serves as a comprehensive index of fingering resources for double-reed instruments, with a particular emphasis on bassoon and contrabassoon. It provides links to fingering charts for German (Heckel) and French (Buffet) bassoon systems, including standard fingerings, alternate fingerings for difficult passages, trills and shakes, pianissimo fingerings, microtones, multiphonics, harmonics, and historical bassoon fingerings. The page also connects users to the extensive Bassoon-Family Fingering Companion compiled by Terry B. Ewell, along with resources for contrabassoon, historical bassoons, English horn, and oboe. In addition to practical fingering charts, the page includes bibliographies and references to major pedagogical publications, making it both a performance aid and a research portal for double-reed players, teachers, and scholars.
