 Funny names for the Eb
Author: Eileen 
Date:   2001-10-02 23:46

As a former Eb player, I enjoy all the numerous jokes about its unique tone. My band director used to call it "The Beast" or "The Witch." In recent postings I've seen "Halloween" and "swine pipe." What's your favorite term of insult/affection?

Is "The Witch" a reference to the Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique?

What about "The Headache?" Not creative but so true.

Eb soprano: Pinky-Phone. It's a long story.

I call my Eb alto the monster in my closet as that is where it usually resides when not in use ~Cathy
