On the trombone and the bassoon

The other day some people were discussing the perennial question, "Is anyone less fortunate than trombonists ?"

Not hobby trombonists, of course, but professional ones. Not that frequently required in orchestras, with a limited solo repertoire, trombonists often have difficulty finding enough work.

However I am sure that if trombonists are an unfortunate lot, bassoonists are even less fortunate. No jazz or rock for them. And their instruments cost a fortune and are an acoustical and orthographical nightmare.

Just to check I did a search on youtube for "fun bassoon" and for "cool bassoon".

Forget it ! No fun and not cool...
