Does Bunbury have an orchestra?

[SelfPortraitWithEels]

(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?

Bwahhahhahahaha

I can play the violin if I have to but would rather play the squeaky chicken.

I am intrigued by squeaky chickens - mine only make a very judgmental BokBoooook (that's o as in hot, but long, not oooo as in book)

Or whataboutery an Otamatone orchestra?

I can’t play anything, but I’ve always wanted to whack a gong. Can I do that, please?

@FlibbertyGiblets

If we get sent somewhere hot and tropical then I'll bet I can dismantle a tortoise and repurpose as an Ocarina.

Heeeee ocarina!

...or was it macarena? I forget.

I can’t decide.

Either I can play the oven door like this version of Timmy Trumpet.

Or do the wine glasses like Sandra bullock in miss congeniality.

I think today I feel my like doing the oven door thing.

[/quote] Oh God, I love this.

Bat - I play the viola in alto clef and the violin in treble. Don't like playing the wrong clef on the wrong instrument because I get confused easily.

Not an expert at all. Hence preferring to play the squeaky chicken.

I can play Pease Pudding Hot on the recorder

Ooh, ooh. Brainwave!

I can whistle with a biro pen top!

I can manage a few raucous toots on some washing machine hose & kitchen funnel. It's not pretty, but it's loud.

Would it be easier if we all played kazoos?

Kazoos? Kazoos? KAZOOS?!

Oh okay then

I can’t play anything, but I do have a few sticks in the garage that I could wave around, if that would help at all.

I have a kazoo!!!

I still feel like oven door slamming is good too. I can do both.

@TinselAngel

How about the classic combo of kazoo and swannee whistle?

When we get good enough to do Mahler's 6th Symphony, can I wield the Hammer of Fate please?

Admittedly it might take some time before we're ready for that. I'm not sure there are all that many triangles, kazoos and theremins in Mahler's oeuvre

By God, with enough grim determination, there will be!

Mahler won't know what hit him!

I only got as far as Grade 3 piano, but I identify as a professional oboe player, and therefore am instantly rendered completely indistinguishable from a member of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.

@Bordois

I actually play the triangle in a reggae band.

I stand at the back and ting.

(I'll get my coat...)

Oh great now I've got "Uptown Top Ranking" going round in my head.

I played the oboe for a little while when I was at school, but gave it up the first chance I got because I was rubbish and could only make it sound like a half strangled duck. So instead I'm going to volunteer to provide the milkshakes in the interval, although you'll have to guess which flavour it's going to be. (That's a reference that only those of you of a certain age are going to get, and the rest of you now probably think I'm bananas).

@GAHgamel hmmm...I think I’ll have...straaaaawberry.

I have a Clanger pajama case which makes the noise of, well, the Clangers, when the nose is squeezed. A bit niche, but I won't even require special nouns for it.

Ooooo, Alberto Frog!
