Hey - it's on the way!

I've got a couple old didges and a busted up bassoon and a very rustic trombone bell in the parts bin which should make a good ole blowable wall decoration.

Now joe, after all the work I went to to you get you up to the multitudinous kiloreply level with your post about how tubas were hated; are you now saying they were not so bad after all?

I could become manickiniquely depressed about having been so tubally dedisilloussillionsed!

HELP, DP, put an end to all this - bring on the beer girls.

Those clever Italians then immediately named it after another country to confuse us all, the Russian Bassoon!

Also known as the psychedelic bass shawm

The true cimbasso is a weird-*** instrument, likely because it was invented by italians.

And in fact also other weird-*** thing were invented by italians, like opera, pizza, and so on!
