1. Oboe
I started when I was 12. Every student in my school was required to learn an instrument, and oboe was love at first hearing for me. Still my primary instrument. I own about 11 oboes now.

2. Bassoon
Started teaching myself the bassoon at 15. My school orchestra's only good bassoon player was graduating and I wanted to save the orchestra by stepping up. I am now a proud owner of a 4000 series Heckel and a Buffet.

3. Recorder
Took it up on the side at around 15.

4. Clarinet
Last year a double reed mafia mob shut down my fledging career as a music critic, and there simply aren't enough double reed students to sustain my living, so I took up the clarinet a couple of months ago hoping to get more students in the future. Plus I have always wanted to play the Brahms sonatas and the Finzi Bagatelles.
