Daniel Matsukawa’s rich tone suggested there’s a trombone hidden inside his bassoon.

reed on!
Take a look-see at the more of what I do and who I am if you feel like it! (I'm not "just" oboe and English horn. Honest!)

Not sure I’d see that as the compliment he intended, but then again I’m not married to a trombone player 😉 I did like the reviewer’s point of the opening/closing chords of Scheherezade and Midsummer Night’s Dream – very cool!
Oh I wouldn’t see it as a compliment either. And I AM married to a trombone player! 😎
I did like the review, though; seemed well written and thoughtful.
You’re married to a trombone player? That’s cool. My boyfriend plays the trombone, and another oboist I know also has a boyfriend who plays the trombone..
Maybe oboists are naturally attracted to trombonists?
Yep. But he doesn’t play anymore, so I guess I should say “former trombone player”. He teaches music at a local college.
I always thought the definition of a gentleman was “someone who COULD play the trombone but DIDN’T.”
Well, I said he was my husband … not a gentleman! 😉
(Sorry, Dan, you know I couldn’t resist!)
Okay. Dan IS a gentleman. Maybe that’s why he quit playing? Hmmm.
