Imagine having to finger your instrument's clitorises for it to change notes.
And that's not even touching what the French Horns are doing.
Twisted fister makes her moan so good.
With a trumpet you just change the jerking for fingering
Either way you're blowing
Imagine only having 3 buttons on your instrument. Brought to you by the woodwinds gang
You forgot the spit button, but yeah
As a trumpet player, this meme is hilarious. As a woodwind player, my wife sees this meme and says that it doesn't matter, the trombone is always too fucking loud sitting right behind her.
Don't trumpets have a slide? Is this just slide envy?
Yeah the third valve slide.
To this day I never understood it's purpose as I'd lost the key ring to it and never used it.
My teacher said it was for getting the right tune when using the third valve yet my trumpet was always in tune even without using it.
It’s for tuning
Trumpets don’t need it much until you get into the top end of the range, where certain notes are out of pitch. 5th partial is particularly flat, and 7th is sharp. Using 3rd valve as a replacement for 1+2 is flat, so you use the slide to correct.
Doesn’t really matter until you get to a pretty high level, are playing in a large brass band or know your instrument well enough to know which notes tend to be a few hz off.
Weather can also be an exaggerating factor, so playing indoors won’t have the same need
I'd say the use of the 1st and 3rd slides can be taught pretty early on. The low D is sharp and needs a bit of slide, and the low C sharp is even more sharp (can be off by 25 cents or more depending on the horn) and needs more slide. These are on the mid-low range of the instrument and are some of the first notes that beginners learn to play, and they sound pretty wildly sharp without a bit of adjustment. Not that you'd need to insist on it to beginners, but it wouldn't hurt to at least mention that the real fingering for a low D is 1+3 + slide.
In my experience when folks say their low Ds and C#s aren't sharp, it's usually because their main tuning slide is too far out and they're playing everything way flat, or the horn just has major tuning issues.
Weather can definitely affect tuning, but it affects it pretty much uniformly. If it's hot out the overall pitch will rise, if it's cold the pitch will drop. You just adjust your main tuning slide accordingly and continue to use your valve slides the same way.
All this is to say I think the use of the slides should be part of the fingering chart. It doesn't take much energy to learn and it makes a huge difference.

What's the difference? You're blowing it anyway

I don’t even want to know what the French horn players are doing to their instruments…
I once had a friend that preferred dating French horn players. She liked the way they hold her.
fingering it. We tend to be upbeat about it.
I'm mainly a trumpet player, but I do have a horn and occasionally fill in at my community college band, fingering is apt but I would also add "gently kissing".
My 12 year son plays the trumpet. He'd love this meme.
But I will not show it to him.
his only comment, as he turns away to try to hide the embarrassment forming in his cheeks, would probably be 'thanks. i.. uh.. already saw that one'
lol that's probably a wise parenting decision.
I’m sorry I can’t hear you over my trombone because it’s the loudest instrument in the band.
Checkmate:
Why not just use an euphonium?
Because being direct about sexuality is far preferable than innuendo.
You know what they say : Trombonists do it in 7 positions.
In Italian that instrument is called "trombone a tiro" and, well, it has a resemblance with the slang verb "tr*mbare" for some reason that only today I have figured out.
You can say bad words on the internet, we promise we won't tell your mom.
As a member of the euphonium gang, I approve of this meme
You've never heard of "the rusty trombone"?
Is that anything like the rusty venture?
That's why they all have spit valves
Yes
Putting gang after your instrument was started by violin gang. Ling Ling > lung lung
