Does Bunbury have an orchestra?

(Also, can just anyone start a Bunbury thread or do you have to be a Weighty Feminist? Apologies if so, I will retreat tugging my forelock.)

Someone mentioned the cornet. Can I bagsy the kettle drum?

Then, of course, there is the serpent. Singularly appropriate for the Nest Of Vipers

I think you have all proved your prowess on the vuvuzuela/wind section. Even those of you who keep fading in and out... Star

I think I'm a bit too tired to even play the vuvuzela right now

Maybe you can sub in for the performance of John Cage's Silence

Funnily enough I suggested DD call Norris McWhirter about something the other day and unsurprisingly she had no idea what I was on about.

@R0wantrees

That looks a lot like hard work

Dedication is what you need...

That looks a lot like hard work. I'm glad I'm on the kazoo.

It may be hard work but I think you should blow your trumpet more, Tinsel, unmuted.

Oh yes! Like a swarm of angry giant bees Grin

Vuvuzela, anyone?

I wondered how long it would take. Do you remember those from a few years ago?

BoreOfWhabylon · 08/05/2021 21:17

Vuvuzela, anyone?

They sound better en masse.

Thecatonthemat · 08/05/2021 14:41

Sounds as though a piece like March of the women with full choir would be appropriate with a bit of practice.

So instead I'm going to volunteer to provide the milkshakes in the interval,
If we're recruiting a frog, can it be Kermit? He's got experience with organising rag tag bunches of musicians.

@Bordois

I thought a zither was the bumpy bit of wood that you ran a stick along to make a raspy sound, but it turns out to be some kind of stringed instrument.

So not a zither 😂

The bumpy bit of wood thing is a guiro, I believe.

@ErrolTheDragon

Does anyone have an instrument handy which emits a sound like a loud raspberry? My artistic muse feels a need for one at this moment, for some reason.
Get a whoopee cushion, cut off the end and put it on a kazoo.
