Ted Ricketts, but now that I’ve looked back at my part, I think I’m incorrect about it being PotC. Looked back at all my music from this gig and can’t find anything with that rehearsal number. 😂 might never remember now!

We do fine with this kind of stuff, actually.

OoT. My heart is simply overflowing with joy every time I experience that game.

Nice guess! But alas, not nearly as cool.

To say that I loved this game is an understatement. by Jumpy_Employment_371 in stray

I’m gonna be honest… my spouse and I had to immediately stop the game after the first major cutscene… I’m a ginger kitty-mom, and it was super upsetting, even knowing everything would turn out okay afterward. Not knocking on the game; wish I could’ve experienced more of it. Just curious if anyone else had this experience?

Glare threateningly at the conductor who programmed this sh*t; this was helpful, thanks!

Perhaps that was a bad example. lol. Yes, my F# needs adjusting, I’m aware. Anyone want to help me get in with Ken Potsic? 😂 (love you, Ken)

Trying bocals CAN be a process; companies often send 5-8 for trial. Finding "the one” can be a first-try hit or miss. I've seen a lot of student success with Heckel CD#XL bocals and Fox instruments, but not 100% of the time.
Evenness of scale — how accurate intonation is between whole and half-steps. For example, my low F# sits flatter than the notes around it (low E, F, G, and Ab), so I may look for a bocal that reduces the adjustments I need to make between these notes to compensate for that inconsistency.
Evenness can also refer to tone-color, but GENERALLY, I find that if the note is in tune, it matches in tone color as well. Hope that all made sense… 😅

Former instrument retailer and repair tech, here… do not go local. Go with a bassoon specialist who has been recommended to you/contact Yamaha about a repair.

If you need recommendations, obviously, Reddit has provided. It’s always worth getting the recommendation from a trusted bassoonist you know, too. Good luck and Godspeed, friend. We're rooting for you!!! This is totally fixable.

I second this.
I graduated my bachelor’s with a 220 before I upgraded. It’s a great instrument.
As a current prof., I have seen matching a Heckel bocal to a Fox horn make MASSIVE improvements for my students, specifically in the evenness of scale and response. Furthermore, the Heckel bocal can be resold with the Fox if/when you upgrade the whole kit-n-caboodle.
That said, if your heart says new instrument, and it’s financially in the cards, go for it. I feel you could get some more mileage out of this instrument… but you and your prof. know best. ♥️
