I make music from the cries of physical abuse. Drummer.

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

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.

Trunpet gang about getting fingering and mouthing right then a little stroke when you get to the D.

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.

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

I’m trumpet gang, but mostly cos the other brass instruments are ridiculously big and heavy and I didn’t want to carry them.

Piano players are not expected to carry their piano. Cellists be dragging that thing through a crowded subway train :(

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

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?

It's more like vigorously pulling something long and hard into you with both hands
