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

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 46 points 2 days 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

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 40 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

The piccolo flute is a horn?

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

Isn't brass more commonly used?

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.

In my experience its very common, just to give a counterpoint. "Bring in the horns" to denote a trumpet heavy section, or just referring to the brass section as "the horn section". 8dk might just be reguonal i guess but its colloquial.

Can agree. Where I live horn only refers to Alto Horns. Trumpets are something different.

“into ska”

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days 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 1 day ago (1 children)

My lyrics are bottomless......

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

Someone's tooting their own horn.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago

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

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Dude just wanted to show his horn blowing skills

You've joined a Mariachi band?

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