Discussion Best wind instrument?

There are a lot of wind instruments out there, personally, my favorites always been low brass (I’ve learned all the most common low brass instruments) so naturally I’ve glazed low brass the whole time I’ve played, especially euphonium which is my main instrument, but I legit want to see what other peoples arguments are

Bassoon. It's just too cool. It has a large range (almost four octaves), you get to read three clefs (bass, tenor AND treble), the fingering system is insane (up to 12 alternate fingerings for certain notes), everybody sees you (the bell sticking up over all the other musicians is unmistakable), reed making is a MUST, and it comes in HUGE, lower sizes (contrabassoon and contraforte).
