As the "utility man" in my high school band, I was a saxophone player who 
was called on to learn the oboe because some of our required pieces for the 
state contest required oboe solos.  With a good reed, it is a wonderful 
instrument. The problem is that you must sort through a lot of reeds to find 
a good one.  In my college days I was asked to try the bassoon, because we 
did not have a bassoon player.  I got by, but it lived up to its reputation 
of "an ill wind that nobody blows good".
