Glockenspiel is just fun to say though.....
Euphonium is a fun word.
It comes from the Latin root Euphonious meaning "sweet voiced"
"Squidward flute" made me cringe so hard I almost passed out. God please tell me none of you are actually that lame
no one is. this is the most ridiculous caricature I've ever seen and the immense snobbery of the so-called musician is unbearable. no one calls cellos violins. no one says Squidward flute or plinky plonk. literally everyone knows what a saxophone is, no one says careless whisper, which hasn't been nearly as popular and ubiquitous as it was decades ago. i wouldn't be surprised if fewer people know about careless whisper than they do about epic sax guy from Eurovision.
bruh my guitarist friend calls all the orchestral instruments "violins"
that still goes against the image...
My wife and I like to call saxophones "sexy trumpets"
Sexiphones
Mayonnaise.
All of them.
I think non-musicians can tell a cello from a violin and a tuba from a trumpet.
Exactly. This is not a musician vs a non musician, but a musician vs a 5 years old.
I wish it was that way. I've seen a 20 year old get brass instruments mixed up. Many reference squidward when talking about clarinet, oboe, English horn, and bass clarinet. Unfortunately it isn't just musician vs a 5 year old.
I've had multiple people call my baritone saxophone a trumpet... It's funny and sad everytime
The amount of times people have called my trumpet a saxophone, or my trombone a saxophone, or my clarinet a saxophone, or my melodica a saxophone, or my saxophone a saxophone apauls me.
Never call someone a saxophone; not only is it rude, it's a slur and against the law.
Appalls. Unless I've missed a new slang word for getting into drag.
I faked trombone all the way through middle school. Adam, the kid next to me, knew how to play trombone and could read the music as well. What I did was create my own system of trombonal slide positions, numbered 1 through 6. Then I would watch where Adam moved his slide with each note played, and I would write the corresponding number from my system above each note on my paper.
I leached you like a vampire, Adam.
That's almost as much work as learning it!
you created your own system for actively refusing to learn to play normally. lol
i mean good job too I guess but I think just practicing would have been less effort.
This is especially funny because I think there's only 7 positions on a typical trombone anyway, and unless you have godlike lips can only hit 3 or 4 octaves across those. i played trombone through high school and it's like the easiest instrument, haha.
Haha. The seal really sells it.
Seal of approval 🎷🦭
Sing us a song, you're the plink-ploink man
Keyboard players: everything is keys
The key-tar is an abomination. I have no clue why that thing was made.
cherry mx or gateron?
Ah, the aspiring musician's keyboard who can't afford a real one
Never look up the Hungarian name for the bassoon.
I love blowing my Fagott.
Oh.
Oh no
Same in most languages (a variation of fagott).
I didn't see mayonnaise on either list?
I only recognize one epic saxophone guy and it isn't george michael.
Thought for a minute you were going to say Sexy Sax Man https://youtu.be/GaoLU6zKaws?si=jdPgpAw12HX0YqzP
Im pretty sure if the trombone is rusty both of those two people can distinguish it from the others.
(... then again, the adjacent color there is some shitty shade of green so ... kinda, I guess?)
My sister plays both the violin and the big violin.
As a musician, this is how I feel when talking to percussionists. Pretty much anything that makes a sound can be used for percussion and plenty of them have been given specific names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_percussion_instruments
*careless whisper* is a really weird way to spell Baker Street
