  1. 1) G Clef (Trebel Clef). It's used in most all modern music. It assigns G above middle C to the second line from the bottom of the staff.
    2) Mozart wrote around 41 to 45 symphonies according to various sources so I'll go with him.
    3) 88
    4) A bassoon is made from maple and is typically brown or reddish/brown in color.

  2. Right on, Jim. I think the bassoon is a cool looking instrument and sound fantastic when played correctly.

    Great answers!
