Permit me, Please...

Bassoon.
A lesson on the coolest instrument in existence.

I have a love/hate relationship with this thing.


You can't really see it very well...but it is essentially:
  • 5 ft tall
  • May or may not sound like a foghorn on occasion
  • Uses "double reeds"
  • Is typically made of wood
  • And has horrendous tuning issues.
  • It also is very heavy despite it's "small" size
Conclusion:  It's basically awesome.  And it takes up a lot of my life.  I thought after high school I would be done.  But this baby is my saving grace through college...in a weird, masochistic sort of way.
