It seems this conductor rang the local
hospital and told the emergency room that his oboe player, who habitually
sucked on her reed, had sucked too hard, swallowed it and was choking on it.
What should he do?
Response came;- “use a
muted trumpet”

I seem to have missed
that one. Could you give me the subject/autor, or the joke?

I told the oboe joke
– (received from Finale earlier this week) to my concert band.
Absolute deadpan _expression_, told as tho reporting a real occurrence.
Shock horror on faces- (especially my oboe player’s) till- punchline-
“Use muted trumpet” caused such hilarity I had to call an early
coffee break.
More instrument specific humour please- or even a source thereof!
