The people who played the oboe and bassoon always seemed to be the mysterious ones in concert band. From my view as the lonely tuba in the low brass, they way out mysterious-ed even our very sophisticated and AP math French horn players. Of course part of the mystery was only seeing the bacjs of their heads for like 3 years ;)

🤣🤣🤣 i do think we are all probably odd ducks. But that is ok! You kind of have to be weird and mysterious to play a double-reed instruments. They take a special skill set of being comfortable with weird honks constantly 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My dad played baritone!!! So he would've been right there with you.

And, btw, I played the oboe in high school.

And, have you ever listened to Maya Beiser? Cello. Love love love her.

And the Brooklyn Duo? Cello and piano, married couple. Yum. Popular songs played as classical music. Love them.
