has anyone ever named their instrument?
i have a friend who named her trombone 'Susie'
and my bari sax was named 'Fred' after my best friends mom made
fun of me because i was sucking on the mouth peice, trying to
keep my reed wet (use your imagination, whats that resemble?)
anyhow i was just wondering if anyone names their instruments,
and i sort of wanna name my tenor but i dunno what to call him.
plus these types of forums are fun to reply to

I've never named my instument nor have I ever considered its gender...

This is quite an interesting topic...

Starsweeper, my tenors name

i need to think of a name for him but i dont know what to call it....

My friend has a Yamaha flute named Pearl, a resin piccolo named Onyx, and a wooden piccolo named Amber (but I think that "Woody" would have been more appropriate!)

to triforce: how about you call him Shiny? if he doesnt like it then he can change it later in his life w/ permission from the government. lol ...or you could just think for two seconds and come up with a better name than the one i did!

lol, i like ONYX. onyx... there.
or arcane, or homer, or ralph, or bobboofrank (pronounced ba-boo-frank) i dont know.
lol, tenorsax13, your hilarious.

Yeah, well, you cant pick starsweeper, its mi tenorz naime. You should name it based on whatever you feel is unique to your instrument. (maybe the smell) lol. go tenors. wooh.

Why would you name it after its smell?? Wait...more importantly, why are you smelling your saxophone?? (cough, cough...altos rule, cough)

cough cough... your crazy...
lol your bringing "battle of the saxes" into every other forum, i like it. except... alto... sorry... i pitty you. lol.
well my saxophone smells new.
Newbie.
I like it! what do you think?

Like tenorsax13 said: "he can change it later in his life w/ permission from the government." Sounds good though...

My saxophone is Natalia (Really should be Helga), and my Bassoon's is Charlie... ya....

lol, NEWBIE! it sounds sort of like i suck, but oh well.
anyhow naming stationary objects is fun.
Like my gamecube... God. lol no i didnt name a nintendo that.

So, are you're just randomly naming stuff??

It's quite common for guitarists to name their guitars. BB King named his Lucille
