Golden Retriever GFEverybody knows Scuba is actually an acronym. Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. But a Tuba could also be like Scuba except it's a TERRIBLE underwater breathing apparatus.
internetsdairy@GoldenRetrieverGF tbf it could be helpful, and tuneful, if you're standing in water just slightly above your head?

Sudden unwanted memory of the smell of the interior of the sousaphone owned by my high school.
One time at a football game, somebody threw a brownie down the bell, so I was rotating, trying to get it out, but realised I had gone the wrong wag, so after rotating even farther in the opposite direction, out came the brownie along with a pair of dirty socks.
(The mouthpiece and first few metres of the instrument were not implicated in this event. But still.)

@s0 @celesteh @internetsdairy I mean we had to have the clean your instrument talk when the director found a clarinet headpiece completely full of mold. I played the flute but old reeds and spit valves consistently terrified me. my dad plays Trombone and I feel he lacks all respect for hard wood floors and carpets.
The insides of brass instruments feel like pocket dimensions I'd rather not be aquatinted. In flute society we just spit on the flute player next to us. Most of us are gay or have dated one of the other players boyfriends or both. We will have each other's spit on ourselves regardless. We spit on each other like civilized folk in the flute section. Not on the floor.

Brass players tell each other that it's almost all condensation and not spit.
That said, my tuba teacher had a giant spitoon

This is why bell covers were invented....
