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
