Carl Almenräder

Carl Almenräder (3 October 1786 – 14 September 1843) was a German bassoonist, inventor and composer.

The design of the modern bassoon owes a great deal to Almenräder, who, assisted by the German acoustics researcher Gottfried Weber developed the 17-key bassoon whose range spanned three octaves and a half.
