Well of course that was just lovely. Thanks posting it! Also, my boyfriend is looking fine and there’s a bassoonist and a cellist I wouldn’t mind opening our relationship to.

Now I’ve got images of a rogue bassoonist popping out in random locations (the grocery store! the elevator! your car’s back seat!) stuck in my head. Some passions cannot be contained.

I know it’s blasphemous for a bassoonist to say this, but I like Petrushka more than the Rite of Spring.

The bassoonist on this set is amazing, too. Gotta give him credit too and not just the oboists. Klaus Thunemann. Ok, that's why the bassoon playing on this set is so great - it's only the best bassoonist EVER playing here. :D

Generally I agree but the other day someone sent me a video of a cellist and bassoonist duet cover of “Never Meant” and I wish I could just scroll stuff like that.

I’ve only ever tried an oboe, I’m -guessing- bassoon you get a little better airflow? Or is it similar back pressure?
(The oboist was cool, the bassoonist was uncool. I let the oboist try to tune my tympani in exchange. Much mutual respect was born that day.)

First deposit of 2026 to the newly-established reed jar 🫡
Another bassoonist showed me her jar at a chamber music workshop last summer, so I've been wanting to start one of my own ever since!
The idea is that all old/spent bassoon reeds go in here as a memorial/tracker of how many you've made :3

In the South, being pretty > being smart.
One of my college roommates said, “You and I don’t have to worry about getting older cause we aren’t pretty…we won’t lose our good looks.”
In graduate school, I dated a medical student/bassoonist once who said, “I’d never marry a woman smarter than me.”
