Word of advice, don't. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you can crack 'em open a little further if you slip in an English horn. 2 hours ago, dead-moth said: I am actually really loving that idea. Anyone game? Hmm.

Badly played oboe sounds worse than pretty much any other badly-played instrument. XD 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.

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 17 minutes ago, Assassin in Burgundy said: Listen to a room full of new violinists. Trying to tune their E string.
