You can practice you telekinetic powers with these instruments (a la Uri
Geller). The keys on them are so soft and malleable, you can probably make them
bend just by staring at them and thinking about it. I feel sorry for the
students (and their band directors) who wind up owning these. Fortunately, Sam's
Club/BJ's/etc. don't sell oboes and bassoons.
