Then how does the string section feed? Or is this the technique for all members of the orchestra? Communal trombones for all.

The string section are scavengers, they'll wait for a poorly aimed honkwitch to land amongst them, then descend as a pack.

The spoils are divided up hierarchically, first violin always eats first.

It's why strings are typically smaller people than the horn section too. Place a tuba player next to a violinist and the tuba player is always bigger.

You use a mandolin to slice cheese and meats.

You fire off the sandwich using the strings like a bow and arrow, loony tunes style.

The rosin is a bit of an acquired taste; I prefer the dark rosin.

The string section is responsible for slicing the sandwiches into finger-sized snacks so that the floutists and other woodwinds may also join in the honkwich fun. Simply slide the honkwich between the fingerboard and the strings and then press down.

Cheese.
