Someone called 911, but this man’s maple instrument wasn’t a gun. It was a bassoon.

Doesn't look anything like a gun.

No one needs a woodwind that big to play scales....

You ever play a bassoon? My daughter did in High School. Try playing scales on that thing, especially in the higher register.

My younger brother has a Masters in Music Performance from DePaul. His instrument is the oboe. His cost him somewhere around $8,000 IIRC.

That's like the AR-15 of bassoons. Only military marching bands should have access to the Fox 610.

Or cellos!

I believe that Emily Latilla first said that, and then when corrected, said, “Never mind.”

My Thompson is too often mistaken for a violin.

Well, you know, that right hand in the bell could easily frighten the snowflakes. You could be hiding an AK-47 in there! ;-)

A couple summers ago, some unknown neighbor called the police on my kids. They were in the backyard with some friends comparing airsoft guns. Three officers walked into the backyard, looked at the boys and said “Oh, toys. Have a nice day” and left.

Thats a Tiberian rocket launcher from the planet Democratigula. They need to be banned immediately. Those struck by the missile simply F**k themselves to death.
Very dangerous.

Prof. Peter Schickele started as a bassoonist. Just saying.
