I think non-musicians can tell a cello from a violin and a tuba from a trumpet.

I faked trombone all the way through middle school. Adam, the kid next to me, knew how to play trombone and could read the music as well. What I did was create my own system of trombonal slide positions, numbered 1 through 6. Then I would watch where Adam moved his slide with each note played, and I would write the corresponding number from my system above each note on my paper.
I leached you like a vampire, Adam.
This is especially funny because I think there's only 7 positions on a typical trombone anyway, and unless you have godlike lips can only hit 3 or 4 octaves across those. i played trombone through high school and it's like the easiest instrument, haha.
you created your own system for actively refusing to learn to play normally. lol
i mean good job too I guess but I think just practicing would have been less effort.
That's almost as much work as learning it!

As a musician, this is how I feel when talking to percussionists. Pretty much anything that makes a sound can be used for percussion and plenty of them have been given specific names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_percussion_instruments
My favorite percussion instrument, "alarm device"
Somebody had a fire drill during band class and said "write that down, write that down!"

*careless whisper* is a really weird way to spell Baker Street
Wow, I know the saxophone reference but clearly have never heard the actual song. That transition to and from the singer on acoustic is jarring. The sax part is completely out of place in this song, or the singer is. It feels like they put two completely separate ideas together and shrugged.

I only recognize one epic saxophone guy and it isn't george michael.
Wait, that’s neither John Coltrane nor John Zorn.

Never look up the Hungarian name for the bassoon.
Same in most languages (a variation of fagott).
I love blowing my Fagott.
Oh.
Oh no
