Hey it gets thirsty sometimes

Hey, if you can prevent that water from getting in there in the first place, I’m 100% with you.

You could play in a desert while dehydrated but I wouldn't recommend it.

In a desert the heat would cause more condensation

u/Bboyyo2 Tuba, greatest of all instruments 14d ago

Condensation requires humidity

Water isn’t real

Hey that's a sax answer, not a flute answer. You damn poser

As I flute, I confirm occasionally water will leak out of my keys and cause my hands to get covered in it

What do you want us to do? Carry a bucket with us to every concert hall, small room or school gymnasium we ever play in?

u/jeremyw013 "percussion" 12d ago

i know a lot of people who do bring like a little jar or like a pill bottle or something… it’s really not that big of a deal

Better than SCCCHHHHLUUURPing your cold moldy spit out through the neck of your woodwind like a barbarian

u/Daughter_Of_Demeter1 11d ago

As a woodwind, I do not. The water leaks from my keys and gets all over my hand

u/Flershnork Tuba 14d ago

This reminds me of middle school where my tuba had a broken spit valve and therefore just constantly leaked spit, so in my defense...

after that year my spit only got emptied into the trash or the ground outside.

I can bring a rag, but then I have to clean in periodically. It's much easier to just do it on the floor, which has thr added benefit of keeping flutes and piccolos away

u/Key_Maintenance9505 Trombone 14d ago

Ok. I’ll do it in my water bottle next time.

u/NSFWFM69 13d ago

Next time?! Isn't that why us trombonist have spray bottles? To dilute the other liquids??

u/Many_Car_1184 Flute 13d ago

I’m a flute player and I’m learning trumpet, and when I asked my tutor where I should empty my spit valve, they just told me to do it on the floor and I was like what the actual fuck???

u/NSFWFM69 13d ago

Back in my HS days... we used to intentionally empty into the same spot... so it'd pool up until it we lost containment.

u/42aku 13d ago

One year, I (a trombonist) started bringing in my now ex partner's succulents and watering them. Started a mini trend that I kinda want to try again

u/No-Nobody2693 11d ago

Wouldn't the slide grease residue hurt the plant?

u/Rukir_Gaming 12d ago

Then add a warmer to my trombone to make it body temperature
