Unregistered	I have just done this quiz - apologies if it's been posted before. http://quizfarm.com/quizzes/mercerhmsoorg/...ality/index.php I was quite surprised at the Cello but with Bassoon coming second it is clear that my naughty son must get his cheek from me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) Not sure if I should view these results as having a rounded personality or just being a Joe Average. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Cello 75% Bassoon 58% Violin 50% Oboe 50% trombone 50% Clarinet 50% Flute 50% Viola 50% Horn 33% Percussion 25% Tuba 25% String Bass 25% Trumpet 8%

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The good news is I have an excuse to buy one of those gorgeous cases off the "We love our string instruments and cases" thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Viola 75% trombone 67% Tuba 67% Oboe 58% Horn 58% Violin 50% Clarinet 42% Cello 42% Flute 42% Percussion 33% String Bass 33% Bassoon 33% Trumpet 8%

Oboe 75% Horn 75% Viola 67% Cello 58% Clarinet 50% Tuba 42% Violin 42% Flute 42% Bassoon 33% String Bass 25% Trumpet 25% trombone 17% Percussion 8% now come on, I'm being so very good at sticking to my new year resolution of not impulse buying an oboe when I go with my friend to Howarths.... why would you tempt me like this..... p.s. also nice to know that I'm only 42% and 50% suited to my actual instruments.....

As an orchestral playing bassoonist, I'm not sure what the results suggest, however, bassoons and horns play together very well! Horn 92% Cello 83% Viola 83% Oboe 75% Tuba 50% Clarinet 50% Flute 42% Percussion 42% String Bass 33% trombone 33% Bassoon 33% Trumpet 33% Violin 33%

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I don't normally believe these things but: Oboe 75% Horn 75% Cello 67% Clarinet 58% Violin 42% Bassoon 42% Viola 33% Tuba 33% Flute 25% Percussion 17% String Bass 17% Trombone 17% Trumpet 8% So the switch from viola to oboe was the right one eh?

I mostly play (in order of regularity) trumpet, piano, percussion, trombone, tuba, horn, string bass and clarinet. I wouldn't really describe myself as an oboe, but oh well. All the oboe players I know are very nice people, so I should be flattered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Would probably go Oboe if I took up a wind instrument too. Spooky, OooooOOOOO! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

On the other, terrible, because I have never had the slightest urge to play the cello. though I admit this http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1945839 is pretty cool.

Well I did play the cello many years ago, so I won't argue with it. And I play a non-orchestral instrument so it was never going to match up anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
