“The bassoon is absurd... it takes like an hour to assemble one. They're enormous and are made of Lincoln Logs, aluminum twigs, and paper towel tubes. There are these tiny double wooden reeds that you have to soak and trim and tend to all the time. There's a strap that you actually have to sit on when you play so the whole thing doesn't fall on the floor like a bundle of garbage.” BandOrchestraReedsBassoonDouble Reed Book:The Bassoon King: My Life in Art, Faith, and Idiocy Source: The Bassoon King: My Life in Art, Faith, and Idiocy
