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.

You use a mandolin to slice cheese and meats.

You fire off the sandwich using the strings like a bow and arrow, loony tunes style.

The rosin is a bit of an acquired taste; I prefer the dark rosin.

The string section is responsible for slicing the sandwiches into finger-sized snacks so that the floutists and other woodwinds may also join in the honkwich fun. Simply slide the honkwich between the fingerboard and the strings and then press down.
