David Cooper (host)

Yeah.

You know, what I do is I save, I take some of the taxing stuff and my job is to play the first half of the concert so that the principal French horn can have, you know, absolute muscle control and dexterity and finesse because blowing into 18 feet of tubing.

This is sounding erotic.

This is sounding sexy.

Finesse, blowing.

I mean, come on.

You know, and a one inch mouthpiece with a one centimeter opening, right?

Like it's a tiny, like my bore is I think four millimeters, four and a half millimeters, right?

So I'm blowing all this air through four millimeters of a hole and then it goes through 18 feet of tubing.

Do you know how many inappropriate words you've used that I could latch on for a cheap joke in the last minute where I haven't?

You should be impressed with me.

Okay.

Okay, David Cooper is the man's name who I'm here with.

We're mostly having him on the show because he has the same name as me, but his insight into the world of classical music is what we're really getting at.

Before the break, we talked about what an average party of a bunch of classical musicians would be like.

Are there any stereotypes?

Like, are the violinists, they're supposed to be the most arrogant, right?

Because they get all the press.

They're like the most prestigious section, at least ostensibly.

What are the parties like?
