This whole meme has more chromosomes than a special needs kid bus.

Hey now, don't call me out like that

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm a brassist and that stuff usually ends up on your or your neighbors shoes and clothes, or the floor.

Trumpet players dumping their spit valves on the floor all around their feet never ceases to disgust me lol

[–] yaminoEXE@ttrpg.network 14 points 11 months ago

They are marking their territory.

I play tuba, not really that gross, everyone does it in my band

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months ago

I think more disgusting would be if they collected it in a little cup and drank it

Violist and yes, this is accurate

[–] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mind explaining that one? I came to the comments specifically to see why violinists would say that.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I think it’s a joke about how there are never parts for the viola.

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Not really; if you ask a brass player, violists have more than enough to do. I meant it more like a standard viola joke that there is nothing going on in their heads :P

edit: fixed typo
[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why are they known for being dumb?

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

The violin is a lot more prestigeful and has more difficult parts than the viola, so violinists kind of see them as those who wanted to play the violin but weren't good enough. I guess it actually has to do more with the fact that nobody ever notices the viola since they are awkwardly in the middle, and that they therefore have less motivation to bother to count bars or play correctly in general. Either way they do tend to either forget to play or play the wrong notes every once in a while.

violist, ah, I misread the op as violinist.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Do you just not drink water?

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I was having a good time checking each one out, then the I got to the bassoonist and lost it.

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

Here, have a hot bassoon pic you didn't ask for

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Another pic you didn't ask for (bonus points if you can name the piece)

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The notes make me want to say Alhambra, but the pieces of text I see look more like the man with no name theme

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

C'mon, it's about the most famous bassoon solo there is

(hint: it's in tenor clef)

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You'll have to forgive, my I played clarinet, and my classical training ended almost 20 years ago. Bassoonery? Maybe the halls of the mountain king?

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

It's the opening of The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky :)

[–] artisanrox@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

As a trumpetist, I swear bro, it's just condensation.
