Judging from that bunch, I’m guessing the picture is six or seven years old. Watch out for the contrabassoon!
Lay off the contrabassoonist:
Remember, it was Peter’s Grandfather.

No, Peter’s grandfather was only a bassoon. However, the beast in Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite (Beauty and the Beast) is definitely a contrabassoon.
You guys keep keeping over my sand castles!
I just checked out B&B on U-tube.
I think Pete’s grampa started out as a bassoon, but became a contrab when he got older and heavier.
That has happened to many Rice men, I’ve noticed.
