A double reeded (the same group as the basoon and English horn) woodwind instrument in the key of C. Infamous amoung bands and orchestras for being difficult to master. Mediocre players often get caught playing very flat, causing a tune much like a duck. However, when played in tune, it plays a distinctivley high and harmonic sound often used in movies to create a more depressed or romantic tune, however they are often used in the harmony of more upbeat arrangements to balance out the low brass section. Looks much like a clarinet, however its body is much thinner and it plays without a ligature. Its double reeds are often made fun of in addition, as they are too delicate to be softened by saliva and have to be wetted using water.
