A lot of people don’t know that the flute take so much more air support to play than any other instrument. So to play and twerk and play at the same time is amazing

What about French horn or tuba? Maybe it's just because I'm used to flute, but IMO certain brass instruments require more of your lungs.

not really. more or less equal. tuba needs more air volume but flutes require more speed and pressure. Tuba is about keeping air whole and full and less about embouchure.

[@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372]

V eesel it’s really hard because you have to blow the air into the hole (har har) at a VERY specific angle and at a very specific pressure, or it will not make any sound. The only thing that I can think of is learning to whistle. But 10x worse.

[@back2thawitchhouse]
