that you were attracted to the bassoon and the oboe.
Perhaps it is the unique, but rich, full tone of the bassoon that is drawing you to it.
It does for me. just sayin'.

The first orchestra concert I attended, I was surprised that the orchestra tuned up to the oboe. From then on, I had to have more oboe music around me. Weird, huh?!

I am fond of other instruments, but have this big attraction to the sounds of the bassoon and oboe. The bassoon especially seems to resonate deeply within you. Like it goes deep inside your soul.

See what happened with you experiencing the 'oboe' assist in the orchestra tuning. It's quite wunnerful!
