hey whats this myth about brass players being good kissers?
is it true? i mean how is blowing the horn suppose to help with kissing? they work the same mucles or something?

Its not a myth. There are facts that are inexorably connected to all horn players. The good kissing comes from the constant playing. If you play correctly(verry little preshure against the horn) you naturally develop a soft aproach to other lip uses(kissing) the tounging of notes also enables the horn player to kiss better. My neighbors wife will vouch for it.

im not going to say what all the double, triple, and doodle tonguing exercises are good for.

Hey, I know about the whole myth thing and I`ve never actually tested to see if it`s true or not, but I`ll find out one of these days!

Ah, and so it is not a myth after all... Thank God for brass instruments.

yeah, does it go for all brass players?

Apparently...

well not JUST brass players but woodwinds too.

Oh, yea, right. All they have to do is blow on a stupid reed, honk, and call it music. Almost no muscles involved.

um, you obviously dont play a woodwind instrument do you? woodwind players must keep a good embrouchure as well as being able to tongue every note.

hey....... *cat fight*....... actually it takes just as much chops to play a woodwind instrument as it does a brass instrument. i should know, i play tuba, t-bone, clarinet and the tenor sax. and from my experiences, clarinet wares you down faster than tuba, or should i say, it takes more chops to play clarinet than it does the tuba. on woodwinds, it takes a strong embrochure to be able to hit and sustain higher notes, the same is true for brass horns. oh yes, and for any wind instrument it takes a strong embrochure, and to say that you barely are using any muscles at all when playing any wind horn is a really *ignorant* statement.

It takes far more muscles to play a double reed instrument than a brass instrument. If you give a brass instrument to a decent oboe or bassoon player, they can probably squeek out notes it took you years to work up to. They probably won`t be pretty first time, but they can hit them.

I guess I`m just used to my schools clarinets, who I`m sure can be very pretty, sound like dying sheep. And yes, I do play an instrument. I happen to play trombone, which JUST might be why I`m in the TROMBONE FORUM?

Okay, cancel that last thought. Brainfart.

ok here is the ultimate authority on the kissing.

1 all musicians that use there mouths to play (sorry drummers) kiss better than most others. Woodwinds, you kiss well in my experience you have a good firm kiss with a nice tounging action. Brass trumpets and smaller(mouthpieces) you kiss nicely too I like the feeling of your lips, a little more sensitive than the woodwinds. Trombones you are great kissers but finding somone worthy of them is difficult. Soft lips and a great sense of preshure helps us to kiss well. pluss we have slightly larger lips and like pillows they can feel soft soft soft. and lastly, I have never kissed a tuba player but once there is a female tuba player that is hot and over 18 Ill find her and make out with her then give you all feed back on them.
