Okay so it seems like people will call any mallet percussion instrument a xylophone and I’m here to teach you shit.
This is a xylophone. The wood part is thick and it’s high pitched.
This is a marimba. It’s huge and expensive. No like a small one costs over $4,000 (3186.20 euros). The key things are really long and thin.
Now do you see this beautiful instrument? This is called the vibraphone motherfuckers. Or just the vibes. Anyways it sounds amazing. I could marry the sound. Basically, it;s made of metal and you have a pedal to stop it from ringing too long.
This is the glockenphejksdfjkl. I have no idea how to spell it, so lets just call it the orchestral bells. If you hit this shit too loud it can burst your eardrums.
These are a joke.
I live how angry op is
Sure are a lot of xylophones on this post.
"You play an instrument! Play something for us!"
If you bend a flute, is it
A floot loop
Where does one buy a vehicle of such quality?

when you get a piece full of fast runs with really uncomfortable fingerings
walking into private practice with a new piece
teacher:
after they hear the first note:
I listened to a professional recording of this and you could actually hear the violinists slowly put down their instruments and mutter “this just isn’t going to happen”
looking at this makes my head hurt
I was going to say “fuck flats” but I have to keep my blog content pg-12
then I realized I could shorten that to “eff flats”
but then I realized

Things Musicians do When They Play a Wrong Note
A bit of music humour for those of us who have played instruments or sang in a choral ensemble. I assure readers that all of these are accurate, having spent the last 17+ years of my life around these people. :)
First Violins: Screw up your face and pluck your strings as if making sure they are in tune.
Second Violins: What wrong note?
Violists: Adjust the placement of the viola on your shoulder, or else completely retune your instrument, no matter how bad the timing is.
Cellists: Make a big show of tightening/loosening your bow hair, or stop playing entirely. Ask the conductor to retune your instrument.
Bassists: Oh, what, were we supposed to play there?
Clarinetists/saxophonists: Check the placement of your keys; when further wrong notes are played (or if discovered that all keys are present), make a show of checking your reed for cracks or fiddling around with the ligature.
Oboists/Bassoonists/English Hornists: Take your reed off, take your reed knife out, and “trim” your reed.
Trumpeters: What do you mean, “wrong note?” We were right - the rest of the orchestra was playing the wrong notes.
Trombonists: Don’t notice the wrong notes - there’s too many of them to choose from.
French Hornists: Adjust your mouthpiece and 37 different pieces of your instrument.
Tuba Players: Play even louder in hopes that will make up for the wrong note, therefore drowning out the rest of the orchestra.
Euphonium/Baritone Players: Oh, well, life goes on.
All Brass Players: Blow through your instrument, making sure it didn’t get too cold during the 3 beats of rest; always good is taking out your cleaning cloth and pulling all the nasty stuff out of your instrument and dumping it on the floor. The audience is now too grossed out to notice the wrong notes.
Flautists: Stare blankly at your flute for a moment, then pull out a bit. If still wrong, pull out even more and hope that did the trick.
Percussionists: Giggle and joke about it with the rest of your section; miss your next cue and giggle again, causing the conductor to stop the entire rest of the orchestra.
Guitarists: Hey, man, I $%#&ed up…let’s go back to the beginning (even if 2 lines from the end of the piece, as you have no clue where you were in the first place).
Accordionists: Who cares? The rest of the people vacated the room long before the wrong note.
Sopranos: Fake a coughing fit or give a dirty look to the soprano next to you.
Altos: (grumbling) Why fix it? Nobody will notice anyways, right?
Tenors: Crack a joke, apologise to the conductor, and get on with your life.
Basses: You’re singing so low that they’ll all swoon even if the note is wrong
I am astounded by the accuracy
Pianists: Take hands off piano keys, rub them and make exaggerate facial expressions of pain and/or laugh at yourself and play again.
Anyone who says they’ve never held bigoted beliefs is 100% a liar. We get older and we learn better and we grow more understanding of the world around us. Social justice is not a contest of perfection. It’s a process of growth. That has been completely lost on this community in the past two years.
THAT ONE SECTION MEMBER WHO'S TOO OVEREXPRESSIVE
Ravel's Bolero
In the beginning: Cute solos. Audience is going "wow" and everybody is happy and perky. Can do everything in the world. Tone is amazing.
In the end: The flutist and clarinetist stabbed themselves with their instruments. The audience is rioting. The conductor was poisoned my a viola. The snare drummer disappeared through the back door and demolished the concert hall. The world is destroyed.
