It's a bong. >Besides, (and I don't know how accurate a Fairlight is) I can hear some >very tactile sounds on the oboe solo on the song "The Only Joy In Town." You >can hear the stops on the oboe making little clicking noises in the same way >that The Fairlight was an early sampler, and a good one. So its oboe sample probably would have had key clicks, etc., in it. But if put side by side with a really good oboist, even moderately discerning ears could tell the difference. I'll bet the instrument in the photo is a recorder (a vertical flute). While there are masters of that instrument, it's more readily played by almost anyone, hence its proliferation in school music classes. If Joni really played the oboe, I think she would do so a little more often than just once. -Fred
