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?

✨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.
It's condensation
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.
I lube up my guitar strings before I finger the fretboard
Careful with that G-string, it can just snap right off.
I'm glad someone posted a Riker
My new favorite gif
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.
Always remember to use lube
No, slide lube! Slide lube!

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.
Skin flute?
Por que no los dos
Personally I don't think there's much difference between a blow and jerk and a blow and grope.
Depends on the grip.
With trumpets you edge it
Someone got their buttons pushed
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 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.
plays the world's smallest violin
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.
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.
What is the problem?
Euphonium gang rise up! Now is our chance to be heard
is that a baritone?
"We already have a tuba at home!"
The tuba at home:
Tromboners get jerked off.
Everything else is fingered (or beaten).
Clearly then theramins are asexual.
Theremins vibe chord.
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. 🤔

[ breathing intensifies ]
I've got the practice
Sounds like someone's lips are puckered tighter than their butt to me.
Wait, but... I make noises when I'm jerked off too...
Am I... an instrument?
This one is so rusty!
I see what you did there.
THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH
band kids have zero chill.
It's more like vigorously pulling something long and hard into you with both hands
All Trumpet Gang knows is how push buttons, if ore the haters
Sax gang approved
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.
