To whom it may concern on thr List...

I'm thinking of getting a gig bag for my bassoon.
However, there's a catch. It needs to be the legnth
and width of the bassoon, in other words, a
one-section case, so I can take the bassoon, fully
assembled, put it into the bag, go somewhere, and
unzip the bag, and take the bassoon out without having
to put it together. Don't ask me why please. But if
you're on this list and a bassoonist, please tell me
what you think about this idea.

Horrible idea.  One big bump and the tenons would snap off in their sockets.
There's a reason why no one does this (or ever has done this in the past 500
years).  Take the extra 40 seconds to assemble it.
