Honkwiching

Meaning

What does Honkwiching mean?

Honkwiching is an act between (usually) two bass instrument players, such as trumpeters or trombone players who place a sandwich inside of their instrument and then blow the sandwich out to the other person’s mouth to eat.

A lot of musicians wouldn’t admit doing this, but we can all be sure that almost every curious person who has a trombone or a trumpet, tried it already for fun. Because feeding into one’s curiosity is an ongoing trend.
