Bagpipes. One of the few instruments that can both make you cry and make you want to charge into battle.

One of my favourite Arrested Development lines is this β€œAnd, like all bagpipe music, it was hard to tell if it was good music played horribly, or horrible music played well.” :-)

Seriously though, it can sound mighty impressive when done right - living in Edinburgh though, I could do without the street corner pipers belting out Don’t Stop Believing and the like!

One of my more decent pieces has an oboe and a horn duet as the melody. The oboe is such a unique and beautiful sounding instrument that pairs well with many more softer instruments

Allegedly George Bernard Shaw said this about the oboe: β€œAn ill wind that nobody blows good.”

The music video for Baker Street is like a 1970s time capsule

I played Alto in school, never really got into it. Then switched up to baritone, loved it.
