The Orchestra Pit @theorchestra - Tumblr Blog

So I’m researching saxophones (because I’m looking to buy) and I ended up on this forum for custom instruments and I found this ridiculous monstrosity.

It’s a Low G [Concert F] tenor sax made by a Brazilian manufacturer (I couldn’t find the name) which specialises in custom extensions like this one.

I can’t covey how much I want to play it. Like how do you get access to the extra keys? Extra left hand thumb keys?

in theory, straight alto and tenor saxophones make a lot of sense; but in practice…

If in doubt, blues scale it out

Random question: has anyone ever sneezed while playing their instrument?? I’ve literally been playing the saxophone for like 9 years and that has never happened to me

sorryihavemarchingband

uhh yes hello friend i too am an alto saxophone player. don’t sneeze. it’ll make THE WORST HONK SOUND. sounds like all the geese in the world working together as a choir. everyone in the room (around 100 people at that time) turned and looked at me. don’t. sneeze.

I laughed while playing my trumpet and it sounded like a dying horse

Never sneezed. Have coughed. It made a weird squeak. Also, laughing and playing is insanely difficult

my favorite thing to do: make faces at my friends during rehearsal so they laugh and miss their entrances

ironic-flute

my band director’s favorite thing to do: say something that isn’t that funny, so nobody laughs, but for some reason the entire flute section thinks it’s funny and we all laugh and miss our entrances

30: A song that reminds you of yourself

Starting strong with probably the hardest song on that list hahahahaha. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to pin down a song that encapsulates my very essence, but if i had to pick one song that gives a general vibe I’d probably say Animal Spirits by Vulfpeck. Because its so carefree and nonsensical, and with a killer groove which I’m all about!
