Musical?

[Anna]

Is the question a riddle type of joke as you said the answer was a one liner?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Euphonium?

[Flay]

Yes, musical. No, not a joke, it's really straight.

[Flay]

This E can be open in a shut case, but cannot easily be flattened.

I should add it cannot easily be flattened when in use

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Euphonium?

[Flay]

Euphonium?

I heard you the first time! Nope, although they should be flattened!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

"Open in a shut case, but cannot be easily flattened (when in use)" and is "really straight".

The strings in a Piano ("case")?

... but why the Es in particular?




As you were ... <strokechinbaffledexpression> emoticon!

[Anna]

I haven't a clue, not a lot of instruments beginning with E. So if it cannot easily be flattened when in use would it be something to do with method of tuning or chromatic thingies?

[Flay]

You're getting there. I'll stay mute.

[Norfolk Born]

A muffled euphonium?

[Anna]

There's something called an E-Sax Whisper Mute which is a case which covers the sax?

[Flay]

A muffled euphonium?

Stop that heckling from the back!!

[Flay]

There's something called an E-Sax Whisper Mute which is a case which covers the sax?

That's interesting, Anna. But you are not being straight or open with me.

Go on, what E can be open?

[Flay]

and muted (getting desperate now... )
