You can tune the violin.
Not me! Solid oak ear.
Well, there's the orchestra and then there's teaching and helping out at various churches on Sunday morning. And outreach programs. All the instrumentalists in the orchestra here do it. Considering the late nights they put in when the chorus is singing, I would never consider them slacking - those are three-hour rehearsals after 3-4 hours in the afternoon.
I know organists who work at at least two synagogues and two churches every weekend. I'd never consider that they don't put in enough woring hours.
And yes, we singers work a 40-60 week on top of knowing and learning our music. At that level, it's not quite rocket science, but there is a lot of accumulated knowledge that goes into making music.
I was chuckling about that onion joke way after turned the computer off.
surely no one would pick on the classical guitar!?
Well......

A young, single woman is feeling very ill and has an extensive series of tests done by her doctor. After weeks of tests and more tests, the doctor calls her in. He tells her, I have to be frank with you the test results are not good. You have an incurable disease, and it is terminal. I would think you have no more than six months to live.
Devastated, she sobbingly asks the doctor, is there anything I can do?
The doctor says, well, if I were you I would run out and marry a Classical Guitarist ASAP.
She asks, How will that help my illness?
The doctor says, "Oh it won't help your illness; but it will make that six months seem like an eternity!"

not fair ..........

lol. not far from the truth, either.
Have you ever seen Transiberian Orchestra? I've become a groupie, I fully admit.
Viola jokes are interchangeable with trombone jokes.
