What other instruments do some of you play on, mostly for fun

Ah, yes. Much appreciation here, Swan is not so much a test of pure virtuosity as it is demanding of control and endurance. Is your daughter playing professionally now? My oboe mentor was an alumnus of one of those aforementioned conservatories and played with a big-city major for several years, only to - frankly - crack under the pressure. I was crushed, I so looked up to him and still do. Anyway, you guys think tuba at that level is bad, oboe is furiously competitive if not outright cutthroat.bloke wrote:...
