I found this online:
Your favourite instrument besides the piano?
Oboe. Oboe Oboe Oboe.
The one oboist I know never ceases complaining about the fiddliness of dynamic playing on it, but I just think it has the most gorgeously pure tone. I’m not speaking to someone because she says that the oboe sounds like a duck.
I love the word “fiddliness”. I think I’ll use that from now on! ;-)
I would suggest, though, that the majority of us complain about … drum roll … reeds.
Big. Duh.
Right?
