WHAT in the world IS A "BASSOON"?

A bassoon is the lowest member of the woodwind family, like flutes and clarinets, but more closely related to the oboe because of the "double reed" that is responsible for its unusual sound and character. 
​Also known as a parpy tree trunk or the "cello of the winds".
