ohhhh don't even talk to me about spit... I play the tuba, the spittiest instrument in the band in my opinion. I constantly have to empty my spit valve. and my fellow tubas enjoy making spit puddles lol.

For some reason, I doubt it...but my flute does the same thing sometimes.


This.

In my friend's words, "Your flute is not potty trained."

My bass clarinet leaks a LOT lately. I hadn't played in awhile coz i had oral surgery, and when i played, it was fine. but then i had like eight slow four-count rests, so i leaned it on my leg and the mouthpiece went all Niagra Falls on me and the saxophone next to me. He didn't complain until afterwards, and he's a real serious player, so he's like, "WTF how dare you leak your ******* **** on my sax?! If anything got ruined, you are so ******* paying for it, *****!!" I'm like, "It got on your leg, dumbass. Get over yourself, and get a life." Haha my conductor heard it and he just kinda smirked and walked away. The sax is afraid of me now. Good.

My trumpet sometimes leaks on me if i have it resting on my leg, whether it be bell down or if it's horizontally. It doesn't do this as much as last year, but some liquid comes out of the bottom third valve cap. I don't know if it's spit or valve oil...but i think it's spit since I don't really have to oil that valve too often. Last year (in concert band) I had to place my trumpet across my lap to where the third valve wasn't on me so i wouldn't be leaked on.

I like seeing how big of a puddle I can make with emptying my spit valves. I've had like a straight stream of spit come out of my third valve slide spit valve. There weren't any cuts in the stream of spit for the first second or two while emptying it...

Haha, ok so our Trumpet SL has a solo in the first song and he told us after our competition last week that he was freaking out cuz he had like a trail of spit running down his face x.X


And my neck piece is for a fiberglass so it doesn't fit right and it's always leaking.

when i started playing my clarinet in tha 6th grade, it would leak all over tha place. i figured out why it did that, but one day i had one of my friends holding it for me and when she lifted it up off her knee to give it to me, she screamed and yelled out "UR INSTRUMENT PISSED ON ME!" i was embarressed and she apologized, but everyone was laughing and our conductor was fighting a smile for some odd reason. she didn't get in trouble for say pissed out load. so all was good, except tha memory that some still remember XD

Nah. Instead, I have the problem of not all the spit coming out of the valve. Fun there. (trombonist)
