p.s. i was too lazy to actually draw euphonium tubes correctly so…don’t…say anything about that lol

so i was watching symphonie fantastique and then i saw this thing and i was so confused until i realised it was probably just one of berlioz’s opium-induced ideas
It’s for authenticity. It was an instrument that existed during Berlioz’s lifetime. It’s the predecessor to a bunch of brass instruments (I think?)
why would you do this I want it

I am incapable of not reblogging this
my-psychological-tower THAT IS LIKE THREE OF YOU!!!!!
Weak.
I just wanted to say that I have actually bled after holding up my baritone for an entire rehearsal, and as it is, I already have callouses and bruises where the weight of the horn rests on my knuckles. I showed my brass tech one time and he said I should find a way to get some extra padding there, because it’s a legitimate problem that I have that no one else seems to have. So… I’d actually love one of these. (I’m hella weak)

A moment of silence for the brass players who let their chops get out of shape over break
Naw, they don’t deserve a moment of silence.
Floaters (originally Bottoms Up), a work-in-progress for tuba, euphonium, and horn. This is what I have so far. I’m usually terrible at composing anything over 30 seconds, not to mention anything with different instruments, but I really want to finish this one.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW
THIS IS A TRUMPET
THIS IS A TROMBONE
THIS IS A TUBA
AND THIS IS A FRENCH HORN
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
You mean trumpet
Slidey Trumpet
Big ass trumpet
Drunk Trumpet
I’M GONNA PUNCH YOU
My muse is flipping out over this. XD
WHAT ABOUT THE BARITONE? I’m offended.
Actually, this is a really huge pet peeve of mine, because brass is not string, string is not woodwind, woodwind is not percussion, etc.
I mean, if Matt wants to aspire to be like a cello when he plays, then fine, because as a freaking tuba god, he can actually pull that off and sound fantastic.
But I dunno, I usually try to sound like a baritone or a French horn or a tuba or sometimes a trumpet depending on whatever the piece needs. Increasingly often, it’s been the horn.
That rant aside, though, LIKE SERIOUSLY? Nobody’s gonna hold out the same note for like seventeen minutes, stay in tune, and not pass out. And what the actual Hell, vibrato and shit, that doesn’t happen on a euphonium! No, shut up, I’m not doing it, regardless. And urrrgh, MAYBE I DON’T WANT TO SOUND BEAUTIFUL.

I talk about tuba porn like it’s a legit thing. It is.
Just as an introduction, I am a sex-fearing prude. Please don’t porn near me. I don’t like it. :x
That being said, brass instruments are super sexy. Especially tubas. Oh man, I love tubas. I mean, really. You’ve got like anything you could possibly want there:
- sousaphones (if you’re into that)
- convertibles (so flexible…)
- rotary valves (oh man, so hot)
- pocket tubas (big unf in a small package)
- contrabass tubas (some of us like them big)
- valveshots (do I even have to explain this?)
- Tuba Christmas (it’s like a tuba orgy)
Those are pretty much kinks. I’m cool with being ace as long as tubas exist.
French horns, baritones, and altoniums are close seconds, but tubas have a very special place in my heart.
