A musician graced with the blessing of being picked for bassoon in their
high school band, or someone with knowledge enough of this profoundly wonderful
instrument to choose it.
Bassoonists tend to be a little on the nutty side. When approaching a bassoonist right after a rehearsal, be very cautious until you know if the piece was good or not. If it was good, run, or you will
never hear the end of it. If it was very bad, run, or you may detect bad vibes unintentionally directed at you. If it was a trombone, baritone, or tuba part, run. Just run.
'Bassoonists can be mighty
dangerous; all those years of blowing on a
double reed, and the
pressure can get to your brain.' ~paraphrased, Law&Order or CSI
