Music
String players' motto: "It's better to be
sharp than out of tune."

A violinist says to his wife "Oh, baby, I can
play you just like my violin."
His wife replies "I'd rather have you play me
like a harmonica!"

A double bass player arrived a few minutes
late for the first rehearsal of the local choral society's annual performance of
Handel's Messiah. He picked up his instrument and bow, and turned his attention
to the conductor. The conductor asked "Would you like a moment to tune?" The
bass player replied with some surprise "Why? Isn't it the same as last year?"

Lute players spend half their time tuning
their instrument and the other half playing out of tune.

The audience at a piano recital were appalled
when a telephone rang just off stage. Without missing a note the soloist glanced
toward the wings and called, "If that's my agent, tell him I'm working!"

A drummer, sick of all the drummer jokes,
decides to change his instrument. After some thought, he decides on the
accordion. So he goes to the music store and says to the owner "I'd like to look
at the accordions, please." The owner gestures to a shelf in the corner and says
"All our accordions are over there." After browsing, the drummer says "I think
I'd like the big red one in the corner."
The store owner looks at him and
says, "You're a drummer, aren't you?" The drummer, crestfallen, says "How did
you know?" The store owner says "That `big red accordion' is the radiator."
