Housey!
Just got my housey! today. Interesting reading, and what a lovely picture of Lucy Cox (Col A). What a very large "oboe" she is playing!! My daughter played one of those rather well but I seem to remember she called it something else.

Re: Housey!
I had the same thought about that instrument, but being one of the most unmusical Old Blues in existence I didn't dare raise the thought here!!

oi watch it, I still play the bassoon!Great Plum wrote:It is of course the didgeridoo aka the bassoon!
I know, good typo there. Especially after the blurb about repairing the bassoons. I'm not sure why that was such a big deal. I seem to remember the instruments (not just bassoons!) often being sent to the repairers for maintenance. You shouldn't leave instruments until they're knackered. Costs twice as much to sort out for a start!
