It comes from the Latin root Euphonious meaning "sweet voiced"

Im pretty sure if the trombone is rusty both of those two people can distinguish it from the others.

(... then again, the adjacent color there is some shitty shade of green so ... kinda, I guess?)

People: "This is a xylophone."

Musicians: "It's metallic, hint hint."

"Squidward flute" made me cringe so hard I almost passed out. God please tell me none of you are actually that lame

no one is. this is the most ridiculous caricature I've ever seen and the immense snobbery of the so-called musician is unbearable. no one calls cellos violins. no one says Squidward flute or plinky plonk. literally everyone knows what a saxophone is, no one says careless whisper, which hasn't been nearly as popular and ubiquitous as it was decades ago. i wouldn't be surprised if fewer people know about careless whisper than they do about epic sax guy from Eurovision.

Keyboard players: everything is keys

The key-tar is an abomination. I have no clue why that thing was made.

Mayonnaise on an escalator.

Guy on the right doesn't exist.

Shouldn't cello be part of the "Squidward Flute" group?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

I too confuse oboe and cello

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

First of all, guy on the right isn't just a non musician, he's an ignoramus.

Second, Careless Whisper is only the THIRD most iconic sax song after Baker Street and Run Away (Eurovision origin of Epic Sax Guy)
