 Re: is it as hard as they say

I honestly would love to play the bassoon and if I ever get my hands on one, I will! Yes, I get jealous at the bassoonist when he tells me how long his reeds last. He makes reasons seasonally and I do mine almost daily. Arrgh!

For me, I didn't it find it hard to learn. But if you play it bad, it can sound really bad. :-P I think I progressed way faster on oboe than I did flute, but I did the latter as a kid and had no lessons so maybe that's why I didn't really progress much.

The issue with oboe is that you stay with it beyond the beginner level, you will have to learn about reeds. You have to deal with them however they behave and if you get really advanced then you probably want to make your own. But if you just want to learn for kicks and, you can sort of ignore it, and I don't see it particularly harder than anything else.

What I DO find hard is the damn trombone. I am trying to learn how to play it and it sounds horrible!!! :-D Actually, if I tried, I think I would sound okay, but it's soooo loud and annoying! :-D
