Wah wah waaaaah…

Mutes aren’t supposed to fit that tight.

Damn! If I had known they could do that, I would have taken it up in jr high band.

almost loud enough

Must have been 76 trombones in the room at the time….

Watching Myth Busters again?

Use your spit valve dude!

Don’t stand…don’t stand….don’t stand so close to me!

“Hey, who took the boxing glove off my trombone?”

It is also important to take the safety [slide lock] off before engaging. Also, despite its name, the spit valve drainage has negligible saliva, it is mostly water condensed from breath.

And here’s the same guy practicing on an electric scooter:

If my old trombone did that I would have never given it up.

Joe Biden supports smart instruments.

… because ‘Blow Them Away’ is just a figure of speech.

Why we have ‘Use a Trombone, Go to Prison’ laws.

Rule #1. Always treat every trombone as if it were loaded.

It is true about the slide lock (safety). When you are just beginning, it is easy to lose your grip on the slide, but the trombone would never put a hole in the wall like that, unless Mythbusters modified it. :)

And leave a buffer zone between the horn and the wall.

It’s always nice to slide in a trombone joke.
