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
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.
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?

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

That's why I included the /moisture part
Snazz@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 303d
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
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!

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

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

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.

Imagine getting to jerk off your instrument while changing notes.

Imagine having to jerk off your instrument to get an A in middle school band.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 303d
Yeah but the third valve slide feels like sticking your finger in someone's ass whole blowing them.

I'll take your word for it.

Tromboners get jerked off.
Everything else is fingered (or beaten).
davidagain@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 302d
Clearly then theramins are asexual.
nonentity@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 302d
Theremins vibe chord.
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 2 pts · 302d
I would say you finger them; but they can also be fisted. 🤷♂️
davidagain@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 302d
They're very sensual, but there's not supposed to be any touching.
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 3 pts · 302d
So they're Mormon instruments. 🤔

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