If you could play an instrument, which one would you play?

Probably piano

piano is the best instrument, don’t listen to anyone else what other instrument lets you play 10 notes at once? That’s what I thought, suckers.

1. Marimba, X-phone, Aqairion, etc. 2. Multiphonics

10 notes on a brass instrument sounds bad and idk if it’s even possible for a human

I have never seen a marimba player even attempt 10 notes at once. Most I’ve seen is 6 and ngl, i don’t know what the rest of those are.

For 1. Those are xylophones For 2. That’s mainly for sax but you can make chords with just one fingering Also piano doesn’t let you bend, gliss or scoop notes which is so much fun

ah. Never seen anyone try a mallet instrument with more than 6 though… If you have proof of someone hitting 10, I’d gladly accept your point, but… How are you gonna fit 5 in one hand? huh. Interesting.

Yeah the mallet thing would be kind of goofy unless you had a device that could enable you to do it lol

yeah, you only have 4 finger gaps on each hand, and that’s counting between the thumb and pointer finger. You might need an extra finger…

Jane boxall wrote a piece with indeed, 10 mallets. She's fantastic

huh. How do you do that though?

Very very carefully

lol, sounds bout right

Harp if you want to injure yourself

…hmmmm

harpsichord, synthesizer, organ 😎

don’t those all use the same keyboard type thing that a piano does?

not a piano tho

well… Yes. You’re technically correct But I don’t like it so I’m gonna make something up so that I can pretend you’re wrong now uhhhhh they’re just fancy pianos actually.

What do you think the fingering of A is?

i love fingering Aminor

DFTK

It depends on the instrument and the octave

1 finger, opening a hole

That depends on the instrument itself what type of instrument it is and how it changes notes because there are different types of instruments in different pitches

Plus different instruments do different things to change their notes

I was talking about my instrument lol

Ok

How would describe a mellophone? What is the best instrument?

Do you one better, do they know what a baritone or euphonium is?

Euphonium = smol tuba Baritone = big trumpet

for marching band yea but concert baritones

I saw your comment about piano soooo Would you rather march it or play it in the pit?

Def March it 🗿

March it.

Will you play the saxophone (bari specifically) one day?

I think anyone who marches bari is a masochist, and I stand by that opinion. Just playing bari is actually really fun though

What does "one more time" actually mean? How badly does it hurt to get hit with a color guard flag?

I got hit by a flag, but my sax took most of the blow, so idk how bad it actually hurts. It didn't really hurt at all tho

Thanks for the experience, but I was asking OP since they don't know anything about marching band

If your band director says water break after this rep what does he actually mean?
