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
✨trumpet gravy✨
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.

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

Por que no los dos
Tromboner
this is how WW3 starts isn't it
Not with a bang, but a womp womp
Trunpet gang about getting fingering and mouthing right then a little stroke when you get to the D.
Dude, I think your jerk off technique is gonna break your dick.
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?

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

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

Tromboners get jerked off.
Everything else is fingered (or beaten).
Clearly then theramins are asexual.
I would say you finger them; but they can also be fisted. 🤷♂️
They're very sensual, but there's not supposed to be any touching.
So they're Mormon instruments. 🤔
Theremins vibe chord.
With trumpets you edge it
I’m trumpet gang, but mostly cos the other brass instruments are ridiculously big and heavy and I didn’t want to carry them.
. * cries in cello *
cries in piano
Laughs in melodica
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.

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

Someone got their buttons pushed
I've got the practice
I’m imagining it so hard right now 🤤
It's more like vigorously pulling something long and hard into you with both hands
