Today, I had a lesson where I was given the opportunity to try out bassoon and oboe and learn one. Since I couldn't decide, I took both of them home (a nice student fox bassoon and a crappy selmer bundy oboe). After playing both for a couple hours, I still couldn't decide. I know people will say "pick the one you like best", but I really don't know which one i like better. I'll list the pros and cons (for me) for both of them, but it doesn't really help

Oboe
Pros:
similar fingerings to sax
portable
I can get a relatively nice tone out of it for a beginner

Cons
way too much air pressure
I can't play more than hot cross buns without my embouchure dying on me

Bassoon
Pros:
Easy to blow
very uncommon

Cons:
Weird fingerings
I keep thinking in treble clef and putting sax fingerings onto it
heavy

Can anyone help me? :? :? :?
Mucho thanks

lol I'd love to learn both but it would just me too much time and money.

Lol thanks everyone, I think I probably will go with bassoon

Having a bassoon that I picked up for a song (or, more accurately, $333.33, the amount that the guy would have gotten off of his taxes for donating it)

How the @#$%! did you get a bassoon for $333.33? That's like half the price of the cheapest chinese ebay bassoon.
