Only if you play it well, though. Badly played oboe sounds worse than pretty much any other badly-played instrument. XD

I take it you've never been in a room full of bad violin players. Word of advice, don't. 

And as for what I look like, here is a pic of me in formal attire

Sure! I can't guarantee that I could describe myself in as through detail as bleeder did, but I could try.

I've listened to like one or two at a time, but never a whole room full. The question is, Can a single bad violinist sound as bad as a single bad oboist?

To answer your questions, in order, no idea (as of yet I've never heard a bad oboist) and no, Oscar the Grouch lives in a garbage can, while I am garbage (making the can count as formal attire)

My sister plays violin, and is not *ahem* currently talented. However, I am not sure if the ear pain would increase proportionately with each unfortunate violin.

Just one or two oboes is enough though.

And that's why this joke exists:

Q: How do you tune a pair of oboes? A: Shoot one.

I disagree.  Recorder can be awful.

This is true.  Few orchestras are enough to contain the awesomeness of multiple oboes.  Though you can crack 'em open a little further if you slip in an English horn.

Hmm.  I'm tempted, but I don't know if you've combed through all of the thread.  There are already pictures of me snuck in throughout the site.

I've got some too, but they're under spoilers so as long as she didn't pay too much attention to whose pic belonged to who we should be good.

Ditto.

This one's mostly just funny because of its awfulness--not actually painful.

Listen to a room full of new violinists. Trying to tune their E string. It's like a knife being forced through your ear. No, make that a semi truck. With zombie spikes at the front. And filled with nitroglycerin.

A band with a bassist that doesn't know what they're doing is worse.

Sure!

I'm a 6'0" (~180cm), 16-year-old male. Because of length, I'll leave detailed descriptions in spoiler tags

Hair

Spoiler

Dark brown, and kinda wavy. Currently it's kinda short. I don't really style it, because I have a several cowlicks. My eyebrows (yes, they're in the description of my hair) are borderline bushy, again a dark brown. I don't have a beard, just some stubble on my chin/jaw cause I haven't shaved in a while

 

Face

Spoiler

I have a slightly large nose that supports my rectangular glasses. My eyes are a dark brown, and I've been told that my eyelashes are amazing (don't ask)

My cheekbones are on the higher side, and the rest of my face is pretty generic

Also, I'm plagued with acne

Other

Spoiler

I usually wear either a t-shirt or a plaid button down shirt

I only wear jeans

I have long fingers (probably from playing the piano for ~10 years)

I'm pretty skinny ~140 lbs (~63 kilos) 

I'm white. Very white. 

I don't know if this will help, but the countries of my ancestors are in this next spoiler

Spoiler

First off, I'm American. On my dad's side, I have Mexico and Spain and maybe a little of France. On my mom's side, I have British, Dutch, and French

As a violinist, I can say that this is an extreme understatement

What's the difference between a bass and a trampoline?

If we're talking about basses, then I'll just drop the bass.

Off a cliff.

[Kestrel she/her]

What do you call ten basses at the bottom of the ocean?

A good start.

[Hemalurgic Headshot he/him]

Just watch as one of our fellow Sharders happens to play the bass...
