No way! As a bocal applies to more insturments than just the bassoon (albeit the bassoon is the most recognized user), I respectfully think it should be a separate page.

What is the correct pronunciation of bocal? Stress on the first or second syllable? Fhayashi 13:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The stress is on the first syllable. The word rhymes with focal, local, vocal and yokel. Ed (talk) 14:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added a few words about recorder bocals - about the only thing in common is the fact they're made of metal.Ohmiwik 22:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The picture of a bocal on a tromboon does a disservice to those who might not realize that a tromboon is a joke. Wfalls (talk) 17:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Peter Schickele, a.k.a. P. D. Q. Bach, is probably the most famous person known for using a tromboon in his act. I do agree, however, that a picture of a bassoon would be more appropriate for the article. Ed (talk) 14:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
