I was doing a bit of a music search for a work project recently and I came across a track using windpipes. Or should I say, overusing windpipes.
It’s kind of an odd instrument, don’t you think? To me it just sounds like hippies and whales and stinks of patchouli insense.
Speaking of instruments, the recorder is also really silly, isn’t it?
And if I may say so, kind of phallic.
Oh how Hildegaard loved her recorder so:
Which is possibly even more ridiculous than the recorder. Can it even be termed a proper instrument? Is there triangle music? Do you learn to play the triangle? Does it take years and years of dedicated eight hour a day practice, like the piano or the oboe? Perhaps, I wouldn’t know, but I’m guessing not.
It’s the instrument they always give to the more musically challenged six year olds in Kindergarden music appreciation class – ie: me.
According to wiki, wiki, wiki, ‘…the triangle is an idiophone type of instrument in the percussion family…’
Idiophone… bwahahahahahahahhaha.
I worked in a psychiatric day clinic for 6 months where they played the same sodding CD everyday – a collection of ‘classics’ done on the windpipes. By the end of the 6 months I needed counselling; I wanted to hunt Celine Dion down for ever making her heart go on on the first place thereby giving fodder to windpipe wallies & I have developed an actual physical aversion to the sound of wind whistling down hollow wooden tubes. I say burn them all 🙂
i remember playing the Triangle for the first year primary school year end production. And I’ve been playing piano since I was 5! And they gave me a TRIANGLE!!!
I have a bong shaped like those special little Recorders 😉
I played the triangle once at school. It went…
Ting!
And that’s about it 😛
gorramit, on day two of triangle lessons in kindergarten they teach you how to do ‘ting, tang, tong, ting’ – advanced triangle lessons.
Woz, i’m glad your bong is shaped like a penis, can’t imagine a bong shaped like a vagina.
Pix – you worked in a psych ward, or you ‘were’ in a psych ward? you can tell us, we’re all friends here. 😉
NO ways. I missed out.
I always envisioned one day I’d do Stairway to Heaven maaaan 😛
Far out.
I have a bong that goes “ting”.
Is it still an instrument?
is it in your pants, kaloo? then it’s an organ, not an instrument.
and ps: playing with it won’t make you blind, but maybe a bit deaf.
Correction.
I played with it, and it went “Whooosh!”
True story 🙂
wait, i lost track. are we talking about your penis, or an instrument? ps: kaloo, loved your post on reality tv, i’m a sucker for a bit of reality.
An instrument!
One which brings music to your ears when played.
I wish I could write more often.
I wish i could write for a living.
I do so enjoy it 🙂
