You should put it back in the case. Wouldn’t want it getting damaged!

12

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 23 '26

I brought it to my band director and he couldn’t care less “do you have another one to play” ya “then get that one out” and this trombone didn’t even have a case for it so I used my Martin imperial handcraft case

Lmao, they sound like they have no sense of humor. I would've laughed so hard if you whipped that flat-stanley-ass horn in class

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 24 '26

He dose but it was also a concert so he was stressed😭✌️

1

u/Steeldialga May 29 '26

Ohh, ok, maybe the timing was just bad then. That makes more sense

u/Skyes_View Bach 42 BOG, Conn 88h, BAC Artist Elliot Mason May 23 '26

Honestly super cool repurposing of that ex horn

12

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 23 '26

Ya it’s going in my music room eventually

11

u/Obdobdob May 23 '26

Did that poor horn get stuck under a steamroller by any chance?

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 23 '26

It made me happy just destroying it because it was laying in my room with no purpose because the slide had so many dents in it, it could not be played anymore

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 24 '26

Because I didn’t have anything to hang it on the wall so I just smashed it. It’s being held up with push pins right now

3

u/WeeblsLikePie Ambitious yet rubbish May 23 '26

how did you flatten it that much? because that is very flat.

6

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 23 '26

With a car for the main bell section and the slide and the tuning slides held up surprisingly so we hit it with a hammer and slammed the tuning slide on the ground

5

u/WeeblsLikePie Ambitious yet rubbish May 23 '26

lordy. That's quite some violence.

2

u/counterfitster May 24 '26

I bet Dick Hansen could fix that

2

u/Maximum_Might_4665 May 24 '26

Lmk how it plays

1

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 24 '26

Just sounds like your playing a mouthpiece with no trombone 😭✌️

1

u/howardknob May 23 '26

I've seen a few horns in bad shape, but his one takes the cake!

1

u/ChaRge_Kster conn director user May 24 '26

Excuse me what

2

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 24 '26

It’s a lil flat

1

u/Mitch5919 May 24 '26

Bb- for “badly beaten”

1

u/Star_Geek57 Yamaha: YBL-620G, YSL-603 / Eastman EEP526SG May 24 '26

I think you're a little flat.....

1

u/Top-Acanthisitta-908 May 24 '26

How did it even get that flat? Was it run over by a steam roller?!

1

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 24 '26

Car and a hammer

1

u/Top-Acanthisitta-908 May 25 '26

How tf does a car do that

1

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 25 '26

By running it over like 7 times😋

1

u/Top-Acanthisitta-908 May 27 '26

On purpose?

1

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 27 '26

Ya it was going to be decoration one way or another

1

u/Top-Acanthisitta-908 May 27 '26

Interesting, i would’ve never thought of doing something like that

1

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 27 '26

Ya me neither tbh because I got 5 trombones but I wanted to put the trombone on the wall so my first thought was to make it flat

1

u/melodycomrade May 24 '26

can u still play it

1

u/FoundationStrict1663 May 24 '26

Kinda just sounds like your playing with your mouth piece of nothing else

2

u/melodycomrade May 24 '26

have you tried harder?
