I'd rather people jerk off, finger or blow their beloved instruments than kicking and beating them.

[-] Shieldtoad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Composers be like here is a weird whistle to blow and the percussion gang has to do it.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

yeah now im thinking how you put your lips on one end and then do a reach around on the other.

[-] moody 8 points 10 months ago

The rusty trombone is a classic.

[-] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 54 points 10 months ago
[-] ApfelstrudelWAKASAGI@feddit.de 34 points 10 months ago

Imagine having to finger your instrument's clitorises for it to change notes.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

And that's not even touching what the French Horns are doing.

[-] winky88@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago

Twisted fister makes her moan so good.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

With a trumpet you just change the jerking for fingering

[-] RIPandTERROR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Either way you're blowing

[-] 0p3r470r@lemm.ee 28 points 10 months ago

Imagine only having 3 buttons on your instrument. Brought to you by the woodwinds gang

[-] SauceBossSmokin@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

As a trumpet player, this meme is hilarious. As a woodwind player, my wife sees this meme and says that it doesn't matter, the trombone is always too fucking loud sitting right behind her.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Don't trumpets have a slide? Is this just slide envy?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah the third valve slide.

To this day I never understood it's purpose as I'd lost the key ring to it and never used it.

My teacher said it was for getting the right tune when using the third valve yet my trumpet was always in tune even without using it.

[-] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It’s for tuning

Trumpets don’t need it much until you get into the top end of the range, where certain notes are out of pitch. 5th partial is particularly flat, and 7th is sharp. Using 3rd valve as a replacement for 1+2 is flat, so you use the slide to correct.

Doesn’t really matter until you get to a pretty high level, are playing in a large brass band or know your instrument well enough to know which notes tend to be a few hz off.

Weather can also be an exaggerating factor, so playing indoors won’t have the same need

[-] DickSledge@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I'd say the use of the 1st and 3rd slides can be taught pretty early on. The low D is sharp and needs a bit of slide, and the low C sharp is even more sharp (can be off by 25 cents or more depending on the horn) and needs more slide. These are on the mid-low range of the instrument and are some of the first notes that beginners learn to play, and they sound pretty wildly sharp without a bit of adjustment. Not that you'd need to insist on it to beginners, but it wouldn't hurt to at least mention that the real fingering for a low D is 1+3 + slide.

In my experience when folks say their low Ds and C#s aren't sharp, it's usually because their main tuning slide is too far out and they're playing everything way flat, or the horn just has major tuning issues.

Weather can definitely affect tuning, but it affects it pretty much uniformly. If it's hot out the overall pitch will rise, if it's cold the pitch will drop. You just adjust your main tuning slide accordingly and continue to use your valve slides the same way.

All this is to say I think the use of the slides should be part of the fingering chart. It doesn't take much energy to learn and it makes a huge difference.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 16 points 10 months ago

What's the difference? You're blowing it anyway

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 10 months ago

Trumpeteers are jelly because they don't have an equivalent to Trombone Champ

[-] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

I don’t even want to know what the French horn players are doing to their instruments…

[-] SauceBossSmokin@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I once had a friend that preferred dating French horn players. She liked the way they hold her.

[-] skeeter_dave@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I'm mainly a trumpet player, but I do have a horn and occasionally fill in at my community college band, fingering is apt but I would also add "gently kissing".

[-] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 10 months ago

fingering it. We tend to be upbeat about it.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Violinist: sweats in vibrato

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago

I’m sorry I can’t hear you over my trombone because it’s the loudest instrument in the band.

[-] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago

My 12 year son plays the trumpet. He'd love this meme.

But I will not show it to him.

[-] ares35@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

his only comment, as he turns away to try to hide the embarrassment forming in his cheeks, would probably be 'thanks. i.. uh.. already saw that one'

[-] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 5 points 10 months ago

lol that's probably a wise parenting decision.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago
[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Why not just use an euphonium?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Because being direct about sexuality is far preferable than innuendo.

[-] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

You know what they say : Trombonists do it in 7 positions.

[-] ItzzMe@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago

As a member of the euphonium gang, I approve of this meme

[-] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 4 points 10 months ago

In Italian that instrument is called "trombone a tiro" and, well, it has a resemblance with the slang verb "tr*mbare" for some reason that only today I have figured out.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You can say bad words on the internet, we promise we won't tell your mom.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You've never heard of "the rusty trombone"?

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Is that anything like the rusty venture?

[-] bmsok@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

That's why they all have spit valves

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Putting gang after your instrument was started by violin gang. Ling Ling > lung lung
