Refers to using a Morse key, normally made of Brass.
He’s a radio amateur and when he uses his Morse key he chuckles “I’m off to tickle the brass”. - Early Morse keys were made of solid brass and Bakelite. When operators would be known for tickling the brass.

The brass section

The brass section are losers that like making fun of flags. They are the reason we cannot have nice things. They are the band directors worse nightmares. The tubas are the nicest. Overall, this is why the woodwind section is better.
Band director: Which section is the ones out of tune.
Everyone else: The brass section
Band director: That explain so it
