Trumpeters often don't use their nose to play.
Have you heard my father blow his nose? I beg to differ
That was my first thought but can dolphins breathe out of their mouths?
*Searching say no. Can I say duckduckgoing? Ducking? Ducking says no. Separate breathing and feeding tubes. We should do that.
**More ducking says "Until recently it was thought that dolphins could not breathe through their mouths in the same way as people can, only through their blowholes. However, in 2016 scientists discovered a New Zealand dolphin with a damaged blowhole who had learnt to breathe through his or her mouth."
I just say search, but Kagi brought me to this.

I’d just like to add that the colloquial interpretation of “mouth-breathing dolphin” is kinda funny. Like Kevin the Dolphin.
Thank you for this, great stuff.
Huh, interesting. This article has a scratch of the cross section of a dolphins head: https://hakaimagazine.com/news/scientists-discover-mouth-breathing-dolphin/
*What do you reckon the past participle would be? Google/Googled is easy. Duckduckgoed sounds wrong. Duckduckwent is probably correct. Ducked might be easily misinterpreted/misunderstood.
DDGed gets my vote.
I just say Google hoping that the trademark will eventually become generalized like escalator
Computer says no.
AHEM
One time my brother played the recorder using his nose, we were all thoroughly impressed and never again touched that thing.
