I make music from the cries of physical abuse. Drummer.

Former trumpet gang, I just want people to think about the fact that every brass instrumentalist has to empty out a notable amount of spit/moisture from their instrument every once in a while and I hope you're gagging right now because I always do at the thought of it

That's why I included the /moisture part

I make sure to wet my instrument before fingering it (reed instrument). The bowed string instruments need to be stroked though.

I lube up my guitar strings before I finger the fretboard

Careful with that G-string, it can just snap right off.
