This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.

[portmantaur-deactivated20240523]

favorite things about this

literally all the brass starts to get the hang of it and then the crescendos happen and everyone is like FUCK FUCK FUCK??? FUCK. JUST. BLOW RLY HARD.

the strings are lazy but also the same. like u can tell a lot of the ppl w/ the stringed instruments may already basically know how to play stringed instruments. like there’s definitely a section at the beginning where you hear a good portion going “oh yeah this is like. a smaller/bigger version of what i do.”

all you hear of any woodwinds is just “pffffttt??? pFFFTTTT???? PFFFFFTTTT I SAID PFFFFTTTT!!!!!” bc woodwinds are fucking HARD and you hear after like the first crescendo half of them just give up. they give up. they’re done. fuck this it tastes weird and my lips hurt.

that trumpet. that person is fucking TRYING man they fucking GOT this. they may not have figured out notes but they figured out LOUD and they GOT this.

[alto-official]

Tfw you get your schedule for next year and orchestra isn't listed at ALL and the stupid thing taking up its place in the fifth period spot is a class you never signed up for anyway (jc I don't need to take forensics if I don't plan on making that my career) but your mom thinks it's going to be all low key law and order and refuses to let you drop it without a fight.

team instinct= violas

be careful of team instinct, though. most of the time they’re just out catching weedles and pidgeys, but every now and then, one of them with a cp 2500 dragonite decides to take over a gym all by themselves

watch out for the violas

[classical-crap]

leave the name of your instrument in the tags!

my hypothesis is that musicians give their instruments really terrible names and I need to know how accurate this is

please help me

for science

I love how every musician knows exactly what this is and what it means

[danisontnonfire]

I hate this

[colorfulstormuniverse-blog]

I haven’t properly played my flute in two years and I still understand this

[shostakovich-was-a-paramore-fan]

I love how this is still circulating, and that it’s not just musicians that reblog this. 90% of children had to endure this torture

The Instruments as Pokémon Go Players

piccolo: wants everyone to look at their pokémon's witty names, doesn't wear the right shoes for walking, lurks in public spaces

flute: spends so much time researching tips they haven't played the game yet, wants to win, angry they can't

clarinet: hasn't slept since the app came out, sunburned, crazed look overall

saxophone: threatens to physically beat up member of another team, drives instead of walking, intense af

trumpet: spends more time talking to other players than playing, won't stop mentioning their powerful teams in the ds games, wearing ash ketchum's baseball cap

mello: yells at people not wearing shorts, wades into bodies of water for a good catch, very devoted

trombone: takes too many photos of themselves with pokémon using virtual reality, has sound effects on full blast in public spaces, generally living it up

tuba: brings food with them just in case, runs out of phone battery four miles away from their house, camps out until someone comes looking for them

pit percussion: that person who threw their actual phone to try and catch a charmander, afraid of finding a dead body, confused but excited about this

drum line: owns every gym in town, moves as a pack, dangerous

drum major: trying valiantly, their mother has already caught more pokémon than them, frustrated

20 minutes into violin and chill and your fingertips give you this look.
