That is not a horn. Purple correctly identified it as a trumpet.

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's pretty common to call all wind instruments horns in a band context, it is a trumpet but most musicians aren't going to be mad at calling it a horn. Still a bad pick up line

[–] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Trumpeter here, I'd be insulted if I was called a horn. Might be regional, but that's not common here. If we're speaking about horns, it's only French horns

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Another trumpeter here. If it was a wind instrument that didn't have a reed it was called a horn.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 11 hours ago

The piccolo flute is a horn?

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't brass more commonly used?

"Brass" "woodwind" and "Percussion" were the clinical anatomy textbook words and "horn" "wind" and "drum" were the casual everyday words.

Trumpets are stored in the horns

[–] Malpraxion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doesn't look like that article says anything about trumpets to me. It does link to this article about horns, though: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_(instrument)

That one says:

In horns, unlike some other brass instruments such as the trumpet, the bore gradually increases in width through most of its length—that is to say, it is conical rather than cylindrical.[1]

Which seems to specifically exclude trumpets from horns.

Most of these horn sections feature some combination of saxophones, trumpets and trombones.

Also the popular music section includes two photos with people playing trumpet and lists a bunch of horn sections, most of which contain trumpets.

Enh, in my experience "horn" refers to a French horn, but "horns" refers to all brass (separate from woodwinds, percussion, etc).

But yeah, if somebody referred to a horn, I'd assume they meant French horn.

Well, yeah...you play the horn, you aren't a horn yourself. Horns don't even have thumbs.

A trumpet is a type of horn.

Someone's tooting their own horn.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

"I'm horny" is just not something I can hear people honestly saying to someone else in my head except as a joke.

This Flight of the Conchords song did not help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOgC8qp_I2Y

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

My lyrics are bottomless......

I hope they get together again one day because every song they wrote was hilarious.

Well, good on him or her for being a music enthusiast, but what does this have to do with flirting?

"bander" is the french verb to "have a hard on" so it's still on track in my books

“into ska”

[–] HootinNHollerin@quokk.au 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My dumbass would’ve interpreted that as ‘I’m a trump supporter’ and definitely not gotten any action

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

I would've interpreted it as "tooting", i.e. farting. No idea, how much action that warrants.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

should have posted this instead

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

Dude just wanted to show his horn blowing skills

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago

You've joined a Mariachi band?

A little bit of Monica in my life, a little bit of Erika by my side...
