I make music from the cries of physical abuse. Drummer.

You also make music nose by beating animal hide with sticks.

Former trumpet gang, I just want people to think about the fact that every brass instrumentalist has to empty out a notable amount of spit/moisture from their instrument every once in a while and I hope you're gagging right now because I always do at the thought of it

I should stop scrolling lemmy when I'm eating

No trumpet gravy on the plate eh? Try holding the food in your mouth longer for a similar effect, in a pinch.

It's condensation

TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 303d

That's why I included the /moisture part

I make sure to wet my instrument before fingering it (reed instrument). The bowed string instruments need to be stroked though.

SethTaylor@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 303d (1 reply)

I lube up my guitar strings before I finger the fretboard

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 302d

Careful with that G-string, it can just snap right off.

Trunpet gang about getting fingering and mouthing right then a little stroke when you get to the D.

Always remember to use lube

No, slide lube! Slide lube!

As a trumpet player at one point, I do have to acknowledge that the French horns were widely considered the best cuddlers due to the practice they got holding their own instruments.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 302d

That must be why French horns sound warmer. They're always being cuddled. ❤️

But sousaphone players make the best little spoons.

Dude, I think your jerk off technique is gonna break your dick.

I prefer to finger my instrument.

Personally I don't think there's much difference between a blow and jerk and a blow and grope.

ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 303d

Depends on the grip.

I’m trumpet gang, but mostly cos the other brass instruments are ridiculously big and heavy and I didn’t want to carry them.

Piano players are not expected to carry their piano. Cellists be dragging that thing through a crowded subway train :(

I know. It’s called a joke.

Imagine getting to jerk off your instrument while changing notes.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 302d

Imagine having to jerk off your instrument to get an A in middle school band.

ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 303d (1 reply)

Yeah but the third valve slide feels like sticking your finger in someone's ass whole blowing them.

davidagain@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 302d

I'll take your word for it.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 5 pts · 302d (5 replies)

Tromboners get jerked off.

Everything else is fingered (or beaten).

davidagain@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 302d (4 replies)

Clearly then theramins are asexual.

nonentity@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 302d

Theremins vibe chord.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 2 pts · 302d (2 replies)

I would say you finger them; but they can also be fisted. 🤷‍♂️

davidagain@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 302d (1 reply)

They're very sensual, but there's not supposed to be any touching.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 3 pts · 302d

So they're Mormon instruments. 🤔

What about the reed instruments where you have to give your instrument oral, and it's your tongue and lip control which determines the note you produce?

It's more like vigorously pulling something long and hard into you with both hands

THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH

SethTaylor@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 303d

Wait, but... I make noises when I'm jerked off too...

Am I... an instrument?

Make sure to moisten your little woody before tonguing it.

You also get to occasionally blow out your fluids after playing with it for a bit.
