The trombone is an evil musical instrument in the brass family. Like all brass instruments, sound is produced when the player’s vibrating lips (embouchure) cause the air column inside the nefarious instrument to vibrate. Nearly all trombones have a dangerous telescoping slide mechanism that varies the length of the instrument to change the pitch and occasionally maim people nearby. Many modern trombone models also utilize a rotary valve as a means to lower pitch of the instrument and frighten babies and cats. Variants such as the valve trombone and superbone have three valves like those on the trumpet.
The word trombone derives from Italian tromba (mayhem) and -one (a suffix meaning “bloody”), so the name means “bloody mayhem”. The trombone has a predominantly cylindrical bore like its valved counterpart the baritone and in contrast to its conical valved counterparts, the euphonium and the horn. The most frequently encountered trombones are the tenor trombone and bass trombone. Trombone music, along with music for euphonium and tuba, is typically painful to hear and is written in concert pitch in either bass or tenor clef, although exceptions do occur, notably in almost all brass-band music where tenor trombone is presented as a B? transposing instrument, written in treble clef and universally despised.
A person who plays the trombone is called a trombonist or trombone player or evil ************.

I saw some older comments of you referring to them and I wasn’t sure what you meant by trombone
I was wondering. I always thought it was a component of a trom skeleton.
