Engineered Composer Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 "Impractical"! Ha ha! I love that description! So true. :D Seriously, you take already oxygen deprived and thumb dislocated bassoonists and give them a couple of tongue depressers to rattle their brain around....to think, someone had to wake up one morning and say to themselves, "this is a good idea." sorry for the perhaps off-topic post, as much as i hate it...i love it, lol.

sterilium Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It has to be the clarinet for me. The coloristic possibilities and the range are aspects that you could appreciate in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firsty_ferret Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Alto flute for me - I love how mellow it sounds - shame its too quiet in the lower parts of its range to be heard above other instruments in an orchestra :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Castillo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Flute. Lyrical solos sound so sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H. Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 *sniffs around* Hmm... I didn't already post in here... well, for me, I really can't choose. For sound, I'd really say I love the cor anglais the best, but it can only do so much. It's not very good at stepping out of it's often lyrical character from what I've heard. I'd say next comes bassoon, then alto or bass flute. Actually, in comparison, I'd say alto flute has a stronger lower register than C flute... not that either could be heard over an orchetra or anything. And also... tenor and bass recorder are also pretty cool, as is soprano sax. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06percussion10 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Another one of my favorite woodwinds are probably the baritone sax and contra alto clarinet...It's just so happens that I'm slightly weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lex. Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I would have to go with the oboe... If I could learn any woodwind instrument it would be the oboe.... Don't actually know why, but that's my answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.J. Meiser Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'd probably say the English Horn. I also love bass clarinet when it's in it's upper register and not just doubling the bass line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboeducky Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 oboe d'amore or shawm :] hence the I love hautbois on the left. Plus I play the oboe, so I can't *not* love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qmwne235 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I agree with the guy who said contrabassoon. Shehnai (a quadruple-reed from North India) is also pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujimufu Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Bass clarinet, by far. Then clarinet, then soprano saxophone, then dunno. Maybe bassoon. But bass clarinet :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06percussion10 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Double reed instruments hurt players really bad...*joking* heard those people are pretty messed up...Wait! did I just bash myself for playing oboe? *sniffles* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokkemon Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 In my opinion, the common concert flute in the right hands has an incredibly flexible array of timbres. Especially when there are four of them playing in unison admist a Mahler Symphony. (I refer to No. 4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
