Depends on whether the instrument can be made to quack or merely make fluttering sounds.

I left so many easter eggs in my high school textbooks I can barely remember.
For one, I altered the entire Oscar Wilde text to be called the “The Importance of Being Ernest P. Worrell.”
Most of my Spanish textbooks included some degree of classiness added to the conversational comics. Who knew the verb “coger” could be mistranslated so easily?

You sound sure. I wasn’t certain if it’s ‘quack’, ‘cluck’, or ‘tweet’.

Well, the fermata that forms the duck’s head is often referred to as a “bird’s eye,” so that puts this entire work of art in perspective. As for performance practice of the duck fermata, I am at a loss. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years of playing, it’s that if a conductor says something idiotic like, “Could you please perform this fermata like a duck?” you just smile and nod your head, even if you have absolutely no idea what he means.

i was watching some youtube video and the guy was playing what I thought was a trumpet but it looked like he was holding it gangsta (think of how gangsta people hold guns sideways) it the more i looked at it, it looked like the keys were oriented 90* from a typical trumpet. Any idea what I was seeing?

It’s a rotary trumpet (not made by Mazda). Instead of the piston valves we commonly see in the US, these trumpets, played mostly in Germany and Austria, use rotating valves like those seen on a French horn. The instrument has a generally darker, less piercing sound than a piston trumpet, and the tone blends better with winds and low brass. I have one, though I rarely use it. We’ll pull them out in orchestra for Romantic works by Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, etc., and some classical works like Haydn and Mozart.

I’m gonna be “that guy” and tell you that’s a fermata. You have to hold it however long the conductor wants. So if I wanted to hold it for 8 beats then you would hold it for 8 beats

I saw you over in the thread about the parking lot altercation with the (high school kid?) other oppo and I didn’t even read the entire post and I didn’t like any of it and I stayed away, especially the mention of the handguns because none of this is worth dying about. That’s why I’m not a high school teacher any more because the kids are too big and stupid and well organized in their resistance and have access to too many dangerous things.

The gun quip was just a joke. It’s only about how one parent with anger management issues was mucking up the carpool and making it unsafe. Takuro only tried to calm the guy down and got an earful for his trouble. He had to go to court to testify in the guy’s conduct citation hearing and basically did his job as a citizen.
