Quiz: If you were in an orchestra, what instrument would match your personality?

http://quizfarm.com/run.php/Quiz?quiz_id=3948

Turns out from this quiz I'm an oboist - well, at least it fits with my job description.

I came out as a flipping oboe.....aahhhh!!!! (no offence astradyne)

closely followed by the much better french horn.....

Yeah, oboe seems to be the popular result on this survey even if it's not the most popular instrument by any means (it's a love-hate-and-keeps-a-roof-over-my-head relationship with the things!).

Just as well whoever set it out hasn't heard of tenor horns!

It's the lure of the woodwind section - you all want to be us really, deep down

I don't think I did it right... I got a french horn!

but it was tied with Oboe and String bass all at just 58%

I think maybe I'm not cut out to be an orchestra, give me bands any day...

clearly you are multi-talented Apricot!

Hmmm - another horny bass oboe here

This is turning into a shawm band instead of an orchestra

I came out as an oboeist, then a horn player.

What does one have to do to be a percussionist!!!! Lets see what abuse that brings!!!
