Definitions

  1. A low-pitched double-reed woodwind instrument.

Word origin

Borrowed from French basson.

Used in a sentence

  • Higher and higher every day, / Till over the mast at noon— / The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast, / For he heard the loud bassoon.
  • After another alternation of the two elements, there is a more playful episode, in which flute and bassoon take up the first element, with swooping glissando on the ondes Martenot.
