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

ONLY 53% Horn - that's not good.

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!!!!!!

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
