Now I want to go and explore the bass clarinet and see what relationship it has to Tom and the comment made there about him.

Drums in the deep, yes, I get that. But triangles in the deep? A balrog surrounded by a steel drum band wouldn't have the same sense of threat somehow.

And where is the string section? Neither Gimli nor his dad played instruments but others of Thorin's folk did like their fiddles and Viols.

As a one-time bassoonist, I object to the association with Wormtongue!

That's a nice drawing you've discovered, Esty!

Gollum as a saxophone player would have had quite a different life, certainly not a lonely one.

We already know that he would be cool if he had the voice of Barry White:
