[Leica] What is it with the basoon?

Daniel,

I've heard the bassoon referred to as the "....ill wind that nobody blows 
good."  I enjoyed the uniqueness of the tonal qualities.  However, since the 
music is usually written in either Bass or Tenor clef, and I was accustomed 
to reading Treble, it took a lot of effort to adapt to the bassoon.  I've 
also experimented with the oboe, but never ran across an English Horn that I 
could get my hands on.

Thanks for the images.  She looks like a real doll.
