My sister plays both the violin and the big violin.
Simultaneously??
Euphonium is a fun word.
My wife and I like to call saxophones “sexy trumpets”
People: “This is a xylophone.”
Musicians: “It’s metallic, hint hint.”
People: “Yes, it’s a metallic xylophone.”
Musicians:
Glockenspiel is just fun to say though…
I think non-musicians can tell a cello from a violin and a tuba from a trumpet.
I’ve had multiple people call my baritone saxophone a trumpet… It’s funny and sad everytime
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 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!
