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.

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!

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...

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!!!
