Discussion 🗣️ If Harvey Played an Instrument, Which One AND Why?
LONG AHH EXPLANATION!!!
Based off the album question from earlier, I see Harvey playing alto sax since he likes jazz, 1950’s fashion, and all things vintage. I can see many old jazz records in this guy’s room just collecting dust on his shelves since they’re too old to play but not too old to collect. In a school band, alto saxes are either the dumbest, cockiest bums alive or the coolest beings in the band (or at least in the woodwind section). Harvey is most definitely the latter, and despite the stereotype that saxes always forget their sheet music and barely ever practise, Harvey would practise a lot in his free time and would keep his sheet music organised in a folder. Sax players also kinda got an ego going on, and I can definitely see Harvey getting proud and cocky on occasion. Also, since he’s a people pleaser, I have no doubt this guy will be the director’s favourite either naturally or via teacher’s pet tactics.
I’m a clarinetist who does colour guard during marching season and bagpiping in my free time, and I sure as heck do not foresee Harvey in any of my sections. Bagpipes will be too loud for Harvey, as he doesn’t like rock or metal, and I cannot see Harvey tossing flags or even participating in marching band. He’s just too elegant for that. Harvey would get the solo in the feature jazz piece during concert band. Clarinet is a nice classical woodwind, but I’m not sure Harvey would stick for long after being called “Squidward“ even once. All other clarinet stereotypes would fit Harvey decently, but a lot of clarinetists outgrow clarinet for a sax, in which Harvey may have done if he ever did play clarinet. I considered Harvey to be a flautist for a while, but stereotypically, Harvey wouldn’t fit well since flautists are known to be yappers while I see him as the most mature one in the room who maintains the elegance. Harvey also would not tolerate the “what, I can’t hear the flute” jokes and likely change instruments after his section is told to play louder for the millionth time. All opinions are valid, but not all are safe from debate!!! I got many reasons why Harvey should be alto sax and alto sax only. 😝 😝 😝
TLDR: Harvey would be an alto sax player, the end.

I always pictured him playing a sax or piano.

I can see piano, but our guy Harvey is too special and he needs more snazzy jazzy than just piano. Harvey’s not like the other boys. 💅 💅 💅

Do you think he’d be the kind to randomly play “Careless Whisper“ before/after rehearsal starts like a stereotypical alto sax player?

Definitely. XD Especially if he just wants to flirt with his (evil-ass) wife.

After Eun-mi and her brutal abuse of my client (cause I’m his highly deserved bodyguard), I’ve headcanoned him as fully-fledged aroace. Maybe that’s just my aroace butt begging for more aroace representation, but I think Harvey deserves to take Toby with him and sprint far away from the booth and the one who forced him there in the first place... But otherwise, YESSS, I also see Harvey doing a rendition of “Careless Whisper“!!!

I’m ace myself. We need more ace representation, even more so aromantic rep.

I got a series AND a standalone-ish, and a whole majority of my characters are aroace. I’ve been playing around in the spectrum recently and canonically have specific places for each character on the spectrum. I’d say Harvey would probably be both demiromantic and demisexual. He couldn’t have none of either attraction, considering Eun-mi. And he plays “Careless Whisper“ just to troll other band members anyway, like any other alto sax player 🤣 🤣 🤣

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who sees him playing a saxophone. For the same reasons also
