party favors

On the worth of the bassoon ...

"You think that bassoons are just kind of ... advanced party-favors until they're not there. Then there's such a hole in the sound and you realize how much they contribute to the orchestra."

— Mark Taddei in Orchestral Repertoire for Winds at Victoria University, one Sunday in the late 1980s ... when the bassoons didn't show up.
