Have you named your instrument?

[Accidental]

I thought this was going to be the subject of DavePayn's strange names thread, so I'll ask instead!
I had a friend who called her euph Esmerelda, and I had a Bartholemew baritone whern I was at school - it seemed like a good idea at the time!!! (Oh, and I called my french horn "that f*******ing thing", but I don't think that counts!)

So am I the only nutter?

 

[leisa]

oooooo i did a thread on this a while ago!!! i name mine conner!!! i thought i was the only nutter but were not dnt worry!!

 

[lizi]

mmm

I dont name my instrument but ive aquired a nickname for my gig bag!

its called "The Beast" cuz its humongus....even though its only got a flugel init!

(believe in padding u see!) :roll:

 

[cornetshell]

im sure there are plenty of people who do but sorry - no i dont...its my cornet not my mum/dad/bro/boyf/sex toy.....

but on the other hand my friends cornet was called Kelly.......and her trumpet was trevor,....but i think it is a little scarey,......cudnt do it- im pants at picking names. im gonna call my kids by numbers instead.

:roll: :shock:

I had a friend who called her euph Esmerelda,

OMG! Am I your friend? Thats the name of my euph! I have Archibald the trombone.

My old valve trombone was Weebl, and my very first euph was Wesley.

Oh, and how come you lot are admitting to naming your instrument, but only 1 person has answered yes in the poll? :evil: Be a proud nutter!

 

[Vickitorious]

[Seedhouse]

I haven't named my instruments but all of my friends say that I should because I spend so much time practicing it and having it with me!!
Ah well, I enjoy playing loads :wink:

 

[Accidental]

OMG! Am I your friend? Thats the name of my euph!

I don't think so - did you ever live in Brighton?!!

 

[PeterBale]

Anyone thought of naming their instrument "A Wrong Note", 'cause then, when the conductor says "Did you play a wrong note . . . ?"
:wink: :lol: :lol:

[The Cornet King]

The name of mine tends to change from day to day. :lol:
From "good ol' reliable" to "my baby" to "You big pile of useless ****"

Depends on the day. Of course its never the player thats wrong! as everyone will agree :lol: :lol:

 

[Aidan]

[Trom41821]

I voted "no" but my friend calls my Euph a trumplefunket because he can never remember what it really is!!

I've only known him for 12 years

 

[BRASSBANDGIRL]

I used to call my baritone barry the spider.

it was the only way to keep my nephews out of the case. :lol:

 

[groovy]

OMG! Am I your friend? Thats the name of my euph!

I don't think so - did you ever live in Brighton?!!

Nope - never even been there! Oh well - your friend has good taste in names.

 

[bigmamabadger]

I've not named my horn but I do think of her as a slightly raddled, gin-soaked old tart, you know the one that sits on a bar stool in the pub wearing fishnets and leather mini and calls all the young men "handsome", where the value of young is <45. Croaky voice from years of cheap whisky and fags and tends to get maudlin at closing time.
No, wait, that's me. :roll:

[JessopSmythe]

most of the names that my trom gets called are unprintable. You know, the names you use when for no apparent reason it splits a note, gets the slide in the wrong position or fluffs a tricky run.

 

[cornetgirl]

I will bring Fenella to CinN - she's one sexy flugel!
