I was, among other things, an oboist. I used to perform at weddings with some friends during my summers home from school. Not a bad gig, especially once I turned 21.
But anyway, I didn't keep it up, and my embouchure's toast now. Recorder fingerings are just oboe fingerings with all the shortcuts removed. They're fun to noodle on, and no embouchure required. Sometimes I'll record half of a duet into the computer and then accompany myself. (That's when I really have nothing to do!)
Dare I ask your musical weapon of choice?
