Do You Play The Right Instrument?

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.

Surely it takes two bassoons to do that!

I got trombone 75%
ZedHorn

I was 93 % horn... but 100% bassoon - paleez!
ANTS

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

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

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!

From another forum: http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet...tml?f=1&i=253752&t=253752
Quasijock

100% Oboe; that's sh1te
greenfairy

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

Oh I am a clarinet - I mean for goodness sake thats a woodwind instrument... what the...........
Apricot

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...
ZedHorn

clearly you are multi-talented Apricot!
Pete Tong

Hmmm - another horny bass oboe here This is turning into a shawm band instead of an orchestra

Big Ted

Hmm!!!

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!!!

Big Ted
ZedHorn

I could say - and therefore I shall, that you are evidently excluded by being a percussionist - AKA a drummer... by being able to fill in the form in the first place!!!

*hides behind sofa and laptop*
Gromit

95% French Horn

8% Trumpet
Chrissie B

Yep, I'm an oboe too. The Band of the Forum of the RN Bands is going to sound like a load of wasps in a paper bag! Oh, my second most appropriate instrument was a trombone... watch out Mrs BB!

Dear ZedHorn

Dont be fooled by the leopard skin exterior, I can in fact play the E Flat Bass tuba and flute although it be few years since i played. So i sort of qualify!!!!

You can also come out from behind the sofa now!!!!

A

String bloody bass? Over my dead body.
ZedHorn

nice one A..... I'm in fits here....
The BB's

Oh Nooooo
I came out as oboe too 93% or bassoon 91%
How on earth did that happen!!!!!!!!!!!
Wee Mac McDrums

100% Oboe......

.......22% Percusionist


.........My A**e!!!!!!!!!!!
ZedHorn

I've worked it out....

This selection quiz thingie must be sponsored by oboeists anonymous UK...
The only way they'll recruit anyone to play the squeaky duck is by fooling them into believing they're naturally gifted at it!!!

Either that or it means that any damn fool can pick one up and blow a perfect concert A!!

quack quack!
A

Apart from me, stuck with a sodding double bass!!!! How depressing.....
Big Ted

Its changed!!!!

I did it for a second time and I came out as a violin and a bassoon this time....I think its a fiddle!!!!!!!!!!!

Either that or I cant remember my answers from last time............that must be it being a drummer??

Big Ted

The Donkey

99% Violin, 92% Percussion, which is a bit spooky!
pussycat

92% Trombone ..? with Bassoon next best choice ???
Oh woe is me! Have been wasting the last 31 years of my life on the wrong instrument?
Apricot

I would swop you pussycat, but I don't think I'd be much better on trombone that I am on french horn...
2nd Clarinet



100% Bassoon.

Hornblower

Wottaloadofbollox!!

NO WAY am I a trombone holder - don't mind the runner up prize of bassoon though...

ONLY 53% Horn - that's not good.
The BB's

I'm sure you could hold a trombone (after a few lessons) but maybe not play it!!!!!!
Chrissie B

I know how to hold a trombone. And how to play the scale of C major, thanks to my wonderful tromboniphone teacher, Mrs BB. But she won't let me hold the real instrument yet...
Sigh...

I'm full of respect for tromboners, for the way they can instantly get the right note by moving the slide up and down (by and large!) but I wouldn't want to do it myself thank you!!!!

I like a challenge and that's what happens every time I pick up me 'orn...

Trombone? Obviously too easy!!!!!!
bassdrumal

Im an OBOE
ZedHorn

pink????
The Donkey

I was just waiting for that little inuendo to pop up and thanks to you Zed I've just won fifty pence from myself for correctly guessing whom would pop it.

Cheers mate!!!!
ZedHorn

aim to please mate, aim to please!!!

cum to think of it.. pardon the pun!
windypipes

Oh er!

Im a trombone! 55%

mrbassbone

Trombonist married to an Oboist who also plays English Horn, Oboe D'amore, Flute, Pic, Alto & Tenor Sax, A & Bb Clarinet.
Anne Picc

Nightmare! I'm an oboe too! I divorced one of them. He may have been a lovely guy (just not for me) and we may still be on friendly terms, but I'm DEFINATELY nothing like an oboe! That involves having a double reed in my mouth and anyone who knows me at all knows I just won't go there I only came out 33% for flute which is worrying - I'll just have to play 67% louder to make up for it
The BB's

Les says "I'm sure that will be a treat for all of us piccolo connoisseurs (chairman of the piccolo appreciation society-membership 1)
pussycat

How does that saying go again?
.... If you play flute, you can take your picc and .....?

.... no it's gone; memory going, must be me age.

See the Colly Volly Dollies 'over the rainbow'.

Careful pussycat or you may be on the receiving end of that saying when I arrive in the bandroom later....

Princess Fiona

YaY I'm a basoon ( or a trombone ).  Least percentage was Tuba so thank goodness for that!
dangerouspiper2

100% obo  100% string bass  100% cello  Youse avin alaaf. Dave
Peter

BOEHOEHOEHOEHOEHOEHOEHOEHOEHOEHOEHOE  

92% oboe.......Who build this quiz anyway??? (must be my music teacher)
0% trumpet, hmmm, can live with that.

just try again, bcause i never ever will admit me music teacher was right    when she told me to play oboe   and i never would learn to play clarinet!!(she was richt though on that last point)

Just ask  bandy if has a spare oboe, or a trombone (85%)
Sooty

I was a basoon but I spose that's fitting as I play the bass clarinet most of the time!!!
