| A Forest of Oboes | Somewhere, deep in the heart of Lithuania, is a forest.

/ The Laubin is found only rarely, and always in a tree jealously guarded by an ancient monkey. / {Coveys blow gently in the breeze, Foxes sprout tentatively from branches, the Howarth is a favourite of bees. Oh, oboe trees are wonderful things!} http://oboe-comics.com/?p=587 |
