Talk:Semi-contrabassoon

Recent Edits
It seems that recently someone added some incorrect information about the semi-contrabassoon (a largely obsolete historical instrument a fourth or fifth higher than the contrabassoon), confusing it with the subcontrabassoon (a not-yet-complete modern instrument an octave below the contrabassoon). I believe adding a page for subcontrabassoon would be premature, considering the instrument is still in an early prototype stage. Plus, since I'm the one building it I couldn't add a page without it being original research. But we do at least need the semi-contrabassoon page to be accurate to its intended topic, so some other users and I removed the subcontrabassoon information. More pertinent to the semi-contrabassoon topic would be the recent efforts by Bret Newton to build a modern semi-contrabassoon a fifth above the contrabassoon, which he is calling the "greatbassoon". However, this project is (similarly to the subcontrabassoon) still in the early stages so it's probably necessary to wait for better citable sources before incorporating it into the article.
