This is Jazzdragon 19, one of the largest and most complex in the series. I made this in 2011.
A DA friend sent me a video of a musician playing a contrabass flute - these instruments are amazing, and the player must have had the lungs of a dragon in order to move air through the thing. It was huge! Taller than she was! I wanted to take that up a notch with the Jazzdragon, and make playing the flute a whole-body exercise. So Jazz 19 is playing the sub-sub-contrabass flute with his toes.
The dragon was done in two layers - the main body and that large wing on the left side of the picture. He's colored with Prismacolor pencils and gold paint pen.
Behind the dragon is copper-colored repousse metal tooled with... Bach, I think. I can't remember what I referenced for the musical notation. The dark round things are acrylic "dragon tears" I nabbed from a convention, and the green/brown discs are dyed shell. The deep background is a mix of acrylic, ink, and glitter with tiny rhinestones attached.

Do you have a favorite instrument to play and/or listen to?
I do! I've played a lot of instruments, actually! I've been playing the flute since the fifth grade goodness, that's been nearly 20 years 😳 and the piano a few years longer than that. I love playing the flute in bands/community concerts or at church, but piano is something I do to relax, not perform (definitely haven't practiced it as much!) I also took some methods courses in college and got to play a few other woodwind and percussion instruments there. As a whole, my favorites to play are flute (and its related instruments), piano and alto sax (when I can get my hands on one), and my favorite to listen to is generally piano, although any instruments in a woodwind quartet have great solo/ensemble music as well!
And even though it's not technically an instrument, I really love singing, too!
#asks and answers#lovely blue!#let's see...instruments include#piano#flute#trumpet#trombone#piccolo#marimba#alto flute#bass flute#tympani#cymbals#drum set#clarinet#oboe#bassoon#alto saxophone#...but the only ones I've played with any regularity are piano flute and piccolo#long story short: music is in my blood lol#I've always got a song in my head and I'll happily make music any time i can!

Currently frothing at the mouth trying to find a bass flute for sale, I can not stop thinking about it. Tune in next time to find me gnawing on the fute center door handle
Anyone else get the insatiable urge to play a new instrument?
Anyways, I would really, really love to find an alto flute. They're so beautiful and very much underrated. I had the opportunity to play with one in high school and haven't thought about it much since then, but damn. I would absolutely love to have one of my own someday.
And in not taking the idea off the table either, I recently discovered that dreams can, in fact, come true sometimes when I bought my bari sax for a ridiculously small price.

rtc au but instead of them being in the choir they’re band kids.
the instruments i think they would play (under the cut)
jane doe: she would play string bass. why? ‘cause i believe people outside of band, if you asked them about band usually wouldn’t think about the string bass and she was the forgotten member of the choir and joined late. (and also, electric bass is usually forgotten about so there’s also that.)
ricky potts: he would play trombone. why? ‘cause he just seems like a person who would enjoy gliss (glissando) and i don’t really have much of a reason for this one he just seems like a trombone player.
noel gruber: he would play saxophone, alto saxophone to be specific. why? ‘cause saxophone was popular in post war france.
ocean o’connell rosenburg: she would play the flute. why? ‘cause flute is an instrument played by more girls than boys, (google says 57.04% of flutists are female,) and also in my head flute and good grades are associated together and i don’t have a reason why, so yeah.
mischa bachinski: he would play trumpet. why? i honestly don’t have a reason for this expect for he gives off trumpet player vibes.
constance blackwood: she would play the clarinet. why? ‘cause clarinet is most similar to recorder and her recorder solo in sugar cloud.
-a band kid

instruments (according to a clarinet):
bass clarinet: actually you’re the coolest
saxophone: i hate you with a burning passion, let’s make out
flute: i want to study you
trumpet: how the fuck are you so loud there’s like four of you
oboe: absolutely shaking in fear. you scare me. why do you sound like that
trombone: funky little guy, what the fuck are you doing?
tuba: you go!!
horns: oh. you.
percussion: you…you know we can hear you, right?
strings instruments: guitars but big/small
(it’s me i’m clarinet)
(no actually hate to any instruments)

so we established a while ago with this poll that 80% of us are multilingual and quite a few of us would make bojan 'languages georg' cvjetićanin proud. but what about musical instruments?
note: i am including singing as an instrument and when i say can play i mean can play *well*/to a good standard, but not necessarily trained
put in the tags what instruments!
#joker out#bojan can be 'instruments georg' as well considering his piano and drum playing ngl#anyway i play cello and oboe and would consider myself a good singer so i put 3#my guitar/bass/flute/etc playing is not good enough to be included here lmao#personal#i can also play cor anglais but that's just a big oboe agdjafhkl so not counting it

Iliad Orchestra AU and I’m thinking very hard about what instruments everyone would be
I am very open to suggestions for who would play what instrument 🙏
#Torn between giving Achilles brass or strings#like he plays the lyre in the Iliad it would make sense to give him like a string instrument#like a harp or violin even#he would def be first chair violinist if that’s the case#but i cannot get the idea of Achilles with a trumpet or french horn out of my head#Ajax plays some massive instrument and Teucer plays a smaller version#like Ajax plays a double bass or cello and Teucer plays a viola or violin#Hector plays the same instrument as Achilles bcs narrative foils makeme insane#Paris strikes me as a woodwind guy idk#but not sax#maybe more like a piccolo lol#I can see Oboe Diomedes and flutist Odysseus and Penelope#or clarinet Penelope i like that too#Agamemnon with a Trombone bcs I said so#menelaus would probably also have a brass instrument maybe like a tuba or a sax#ik i said big ajax might play cello or double bass but i can totally see him playing a tuba bcs of their sheer size#helen would play something elegant and refined like a flute or violin#flutist helen ily#this got long mb guys#iliad#the iliad#deadbaguettesrambles#deadbaguettes AU

everybody hold on for a minute. john played a big piano (pipe organ) on his planet to free the fireflies. rose was supposed to "play the rain" and there was violin imagery going on with the streams of rain on her planet. dave had to scratch a big music disc on his planet (altho i think it was john who ended up doing it). do you guys hear me. hello
#altho i have no idea what jade's bass or flute connect to on her planet!#this probably means nothing but i thought it was interesting#homestuck#hs meta#homestuck meta#john egbert#rose lalonde#ascend descend rise up abscond lmao#dave strider#okay okay ill shut up now
