I don’t think so. Definitely strings. Probably the double bass, with the cellos doubling an octave up.

Calm down Andre Previn

I wasn’t going to let your cello comment go, but I couldn’t live with myself if I let PCF believe the Jaws theme was played on a tuba.

I mean it’s pretty obvious it’s not played on a tuba. How would a shark be able to work the valves??

That may be the best point you ever made.

I really think there is a tuba. I will research.

Thank you. I’ll get my coat...

I’m watching John Williams in concert now on YouTube

Oboes, cellos, bases, drums, French horns, violins, trombones, trumpets, glockenspiel and clarinets. If there’s a guy with a tuba the shark’s eaten him

So the shark did get him... I knew it

I think you're all right....

snippet from article:

Rarely have six basses, eight celli, four trombones and a tuba held more power over listeners. Especially in a movie theater....

And...

Looks like the intro is done primarily by bass & contrabassoon in the video but I do hear brass in there as well.

Tell me that says “warning! Trolls will smash your cars”.

I forget which country I was in, but saw this. Thought it was funny. Was in March of this year. No barkers!

I don't have the pic but I remember coming across two signs pointing in the same direction, one was for a medical facility, and the other for a cemetary

I'm pretty sure that's posted earlier in this thread....

When I was a kid, there was a sign on one of the "outskirt" roads with this sign and the handwritten touch on the bottom, (it's long gone, but I made this example in Photoshop).... I always laughed as we drove by it....

My favorite corner in Manhattan, in the West Village.

I’m not sure if this is a warning or an attraction, I didn’t have time to check it out

Right at the end of my street

Maybe it's a horn shark. Look it up...

(Or a nurse shark. If it can handle a syringe, it can handle a valve. )

I’d never heard of a horn shark. Every day’s a school day!

We have lots of warning/advisory signs on our highways with similar design, which has a photo of some people or other crap and then next to it something along the lines of "† Marie (38), distracted by an SMS".

Spoiler: Example

One of those I drive past every now and then.
The part of the highway where it is located has no speed limit, and of course I'm not pulling out my phone to take a pic at 160-170 km/h.

The problem: The sign is (unlike most other "informational" signs on the highway) reflective, and the particular photo they used on it is very eye-catching.

Every time I drive past it I'm thinking...

† Julian (26), distracted by a flashy speeding warning sign

Kind of an irony.
