A horn player that will take any gig no matter how crappy.
I felt like a real whornist after drive 2 hours in the freezing rain to play an outdoor wedding reception with a drunken accordionist for $40.

quintorum 

The minimum number of musicians required to rehearse a quintet and be productive.

It's a mash-up of "quintet" and "quorum" created while having difficulty scheduling rehearsals for busy musicians.
We wanted to rehearse on Saturday, but without the oboist and hornist, we didn't have a quintorum.
