… but never the Vento (and please oh please don’t buy a Vibra … I’ve played one and they are not acceptable!).

Ahhh I’m totally confused!!!:/ Should I play oboe or flute in college:@!!!
I wish I was an oboist. Even the most mundane task can be made playful with a little oboe. Or daunting. What lucky people, oboists.
You have GOT to be kidding me!
This is a Hungarian single reed instrument.
The bagpipe is a cross between an oboe, a recorder, and a sheep.
π ?!
I’ll post these on my audition page shortly … or maybe I won’t! Maybe I should post all auditions here instead. I’m guessing very few people visit other pages on this site. Hmm.
