# The original pic assured me that it was an oboe.
And that was the best pink I could manage.
I was thinking of Peter Cook:
'Then we have been forced to listen to the pitiful whining of Mr Norma St.John Scott - a scrounger, parasite, pervert, a worm, a self-confessed player of the pink oboe; a man or woman who by his or her own admission chews pillows.'

# From the period
I'd say it was an hautboy..
I do in fact play the oboe, or used to.. my lips aren't strong enough to keep the fucker in tune for more than 15 minutes playing now, but it's just practice..

# I tried the oboe
It was like trying to blow into a weazel!
/Izzard

I actually played the Clarinete, your lips get tired and it just squeeks, it's bloody annoying

# weasel, weasel!
hmm, that scene doesn't afford many quotes, it's all just sounds really.

Hub hub hub hub, weasel weasel, wooooo.

# Info from a self-confessed player
Thanks for that. Playing the pink hautboy sounds even sillier.
