Wow! I have no idea how I have survived so many years without this instrument. I gotta get me one right away!

He's selling a piccolo flute not an oboe though. Hilarious just the same.

...incidentally, one of my Dad's favorite jokes revolves around the fact that, in Polish, an alternate word for 'oboe' is 'fagot'[sic].

Hmmm.  That's listed not far from where my brother lives.  But he's a trumpet player, so he's safe.

The bassoon is also called a fagott or fagotto. Isn't there some controversy surrounding the term in England at the moment? Thought I heard the pc police were trying to phase out the word. They don't want people referring to meatballs as faggots any more, or something like that.

If this guy wrote ad copy for a living, the world would be a happier place.

With a sales pitch like this, it doesn't matter what you're selling, as long as you're selling it .
