    Then how does the string section feed? Or is this the technique for all members of the orchestra? Communal trombones for all.

      The string section are scavengers, they’ll wait for a poorly aimed honkwitch to land amongst them, then descend as a pack.

      The spoils are divided up hierarchically, first violin always eats first.

        It’s why strings are typically smaller people than the horn section too. Place a tuba player next to a violinist and the tuba player is always bigger.
