I was randomly surfing for groups in Facebook
(Jerold made me join...)
Found some groups with funny stuff about eupho and other not-so-well-known instruments inside...

Quotes:

1.
The group where band geeks come to vent.

"So what instrument do you play?"
Euphonium.
"Oh. . . What's that?"
It's like a baritone.
"Oh, yeah. I know what a bari sax is."
No. It's not a saxophone. It's a low brass instrument.
"Ohh. So the tuba."
No.
"The trombone?"
No.
"Then what is it?"
(Sigh)
OK. It looks like a smaller version of a tuba, but it sounds like a trombone.
"Ohhhh. So that's a baritone."
NO! It's not a baritone!
"Oh yeah. Baritones have three valves, and euphoniums have four."
That's not the difference! Baritones have a cylindrical tube that extends to the bell. Euphoniums are conical.
"Riiight. So you basically play the mini-tuba."

This is the point where I strangle whatever low-life idiot that had the gall to call my euphonium a "mini-tuba."

This one not only Eupho...

Do you play one of those many instruments that nobody know what it is?
Are you sick and tired of hearing:

Bass Clarinet: "Hey, is that a black Saxophone?"

Viola: "Look at the big Violin"

Mellophone: "Wow! That's a big trumpet!"

Euphonium: "What the heck is a euphonium?"

Oboe: "That's a weird looking clarinet"

Cornet: "Isn't that the same thing as a trumpet?"

Bugle: "Like the snack?"

Bassoon: "What's with the pointy outy thing?"

Sousaphone: "Isn't it called a tuba?"

Piccolo: "That looks like something from a toy bin!"

French Horn: "Is that a curly trumpet?"


Toopid people.....
