I'm about half way through my fifth month of learning to play the soprano sax. I've discovered many sounds that I think the instrument isn't supposed to make.

I get it now. Squidward wasn’t a bad clarinetist. He was a multiphonic specialist. What’s a genius.

[greetingsfellowaliens]

as a bassoonist, that last one resonated so deeply with me

[thomascraig]

The flautist isn’t making weird sounds. He’s just warming up to play some Jethro Tull.

There's also flutescream, which is both a weird technique and a Decepticon.

That slap tongue sounds like a boomwacker

As a flute player, can confirm it’s one of my favorite things to do

[phinhowe]

As a bassoonist, I can make several noises using just the reed. It doesn't always need to be used as the world's most difficult kazoo.

When you become a pro musician in the military but still maintain your band kid energy

[lifeofcousins]

You know about the ‘ ‘ Light saber ‘ ‘ Note on clarinet? Just amazing.

[madelinezhang]

bassoons can do multiphonics too! wouldn’t it be cool to hear an oboe + bassoon multiphonic duet?

[cantaloupe]

Yes, clarinets squeaking every five minutes is beautiful. Definitely.

[megustapancafe]

MULTIPHONICS IS THE WORST THING EVER WHEN IM JUST TRYING TO PLAY MY MUSIC

[rangeKing]

I thought you said you were tired of hearing beautiful woodwind sounds. To me it's music to my ears.

[HS-mnjc]

I wasn’t expecting the last part, as a bassoonist it made me laugh my ass off ahahaha

[notsocube]

The guy doing the clarinet trimbal trills looks like he would do clarinet trimbal trills.

Idk how to explain but he looks so perfect for the sound lol

As a drummer I got a fight or flight response when I heard a rhythmic “Mary had a little lamb”

[sghg]

The look of ABSOLUTE “IM DONE” on the Bassoonist’s face when he has to play that, lol. I think every musician in the world can relate to him.😂

We only have one bassoonist in my band and my favorite part of rehearsal is right at the beginning when she tests her reed. It’s my favorite sound in the world 😂

Omg, bassoon! I loved playing the bassoon
