A thunderstorm happened outside when I started listening to this at 2AM. I'm not kidding.

@MercifulMe

Actually, it's for bassoon and cello. Cellists have plenty of good rep - they don't need to go stealing from bassoonists...

@sorrowfulrin180 you’d be going to pp to ff to all around the dynamics quickly.

@MHSELLAS It's most likely a lute or a theorbo.

i have a hard time finding violin shops in my area,

let alone finding one that sells bassoons.

It makes a wonderful continuous bass though, like the harpsichord :)
