I'm sorry, but I just had to ask.

I generally don't blow my nose in a key. I start my car with a key. I blow my nose in a handkerchief.

Chinese dont blow just hawk.

I think they hawk is the bass cleff with varying tones.

Otherwise the non musical ones sound like a load of overwork coffee percs!

Zcchhhhhh Zcccchhh Zcccchhhh splat!

A musical thread surely.

I'd imagine that with practice it would be possible to blow in several keys. Or use a nose flute.

In order for a key to be properly established chords must be built and used in coordination with one another. This would require the blowing of at least three differentially attuned noses just to make a single chord. In my estimation, it would take a minimum of nine nose blowers to accomplish the task as it should be done. However, careful selection must be made to ascertain the tunings of each nose. Consistency is a real issue.

I'd pay to see that, Allan.

Yes (too often all at once), but to keep it simple I use a capo.

The answer to this old joke, of course has already been posted - but what with thread creep - I reckon it will run for a while - if you pardon the expression....

El Ted has got the most amazing nose, he can get any key,-REALY. I have heard him play it. The last time I heard him play was in a public toilet harmonising with George Mickelle, I said, hello El Ted, thats a nice nose you've got, did you pick it yourself!!

I can whistle in one key while simultaneously humming through my nose in another. However, this has limited application as you might imagine.

Well, as a trumpeter, I have to ask: if you have to tune it, do you push in or pull out? And if so, what (or maybe I don't want to know)?

Allan........I have been inspired! After a few moments practice I have discovered I can hum a high note.......glissando to a low note and back to a high note again....... and whistle a simmilar glissando in the opposite direction at the same time! Will I make lots of money out of this new found ability? *BG*

I nose that's not true. (So does anyone who's ever whistled a tune.)

Whistling and humming simultaneously...

I remember a bloke on Workers' Playtime (BBC radio, late 50s - I was VERY young!) who would whistle marches and hum the bass line at the same time.

Now can anyone out there do that?

I bet Roger Whittaker can.

I'm working on a Y-shaped breath attachement. Why, you ask? Because that way you could play without stopping for breath!

No more of those messy pauses or rests in the music! When one nostril is out of breat the other simply takes over playing!

This will revolutionize music, folks, as well as folk music. Think of it: pipers, trumpeters, clarinetists, flugelhornies, flautists, tubasters, saxophonies and all the rest of the blowers could not only join the guitarists, zitherists, dulcimerries, banjoers (that's Spanish, by the way), pianoers, harpies, and other stringers in singing!

Yes! Finally trumpeters (ahem!) will be able to play and still join their voices with those of fiddlers, piccolons will be able to sing along with the gutbucketeer, frenchhornies with the bodhranites! Windies will finally become as free as the g-stringers and the whackos!

I have run into only one small problem, however. Trumpets and such have spit valves, and this wonderful and revolutionary new advance needs something similar, only it keeps getting clotted up. But this can be overcome, so stay tuned.

You sad bastards !!!! I thought I had heard it all but this thread poops everything I have read yet.

Why don't some of you get a life.The world is in a state of chassis and all you lot can do is mump on about shit like this.

And before any you come back with your usual feeble attemps at justifying this kind of crap - like people such as I should be a bit more lighthearted - think about the little ones out there who - god forbid - look up to you.I think most of you are old enough to breed and are so called adults with famillies.

I look to this site for a little light entertainment and information about a subject that is dear to my heart,what do I get as soon as my eye is of the ball, semi pornagraphic filth.What next enquiries about todgers and bodilly functions. Get with the programme and jump aboard the good ship happiness for fucks sake!!!!

What really is frightening is that you self satisfied, preening pricks have got the vote.How creepy is that?
