UNENDING: SAM
She had learned early on how to use the Asgaard technology to ensure their survival indefinitely. With some alterations in the transportation beam, she developed a matter converter, and was able to create food, water, breathable atmosphere, clothing, tools, playthings (Vala asked for roller skates, Cam wanted model airplanes) – anything they needed or wanted. Except a way off the damned ship!
That was when she made the cello, and began to teach herself how to play it. To her surprise, Teal'c approached her and asked if she could make him an instrument he called a da'tan; he described it in musical detail and the Asgaard computer created it accordingly. It was very much like a bassoon. Teal'c said he had played one more than sixty years earlier, when he was young, on Chulak. After a bit of practice, he proved to be quite accomplished.
Eventually the two of them began to play together. The music may have been the beginning.
From djenie; I love the sound of a bassoon, and I can totally picture Teal'c playing one – also bassoon and cello are great together. If you'd like to hear the duet that I imagine Sam and Teal'c playing, go to youtube and search for W. A. Mozart : Sonate for bassoon & cello K.292 Boudreault & Brendstrup The recording skips a bit and it's not the only rendition available, but I like it because the musicians are so animated. Etienne Boudreault on the bassoon looks like he's having such fun!
