Stories with certain words

[TallMan60]

Any stories about the trombone? (Yes, I play trombone ...)

Brass players have good armature ...

Yes, many more than tuba actually. I forget the number of words. You still play actively? What sort of music? I play brass quintet and orchestral.

I am curious how you came to be looking for these words in lit stories and why?

I must say I am surprised the number of tubas, xylophones and oboes represented.

Well, when in the mood for self pleasure I have been in the habit of searching the stories for things that I like. For example, "train", "subway", etc. (I'm sort of into the public stuff). Since I play the tuba, I thought I would see if any stories referenced that. I expected to find like 2, not 25. So then other instruments. I wanted to find one with fewer than tuba. And I did.

There's only 13 stories with a bassoon in them, which is a shame.

Surprisingly, the more often played pink oboe is only included in 15.

I'm going to have to look up some of the bassoon stories. I wonder how many contra-bassoons.

Haha, never heard of pink oboe before now. Had to google it.

I just read one of the bassoon stories. It contains the only reference to E-flat clarinet in the whole corpus.

I play trombone as well, though most notably in high school, during which I received quite a few (really bad, minimally funny) sexual jokes because of it. Please tell me I'm not the only one who endured that...

I play the flute, but I've never been to band camp.
