Tromboon

Tromboon

The tromboon is a musical instrument made up of the reed and bocal of the bassoon attached to the body of a trombone in place of the trombone's leadpipe, combining the reed and the slide for a distinctive and unusual instrument. The name of the instrument is a portmanteau of "trombone" and "bassoon". The sound quality of the instrument is best described as comical and loud. This instrument is called for in the scores of P. D. Q. Bach in his oratorio [cite news|last=JSTOR|url=http://www.jstor.org/pss/897049|title=The Seasonings, Oratorio for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass Soloists, SATB Chorus, and Orchestra by P. D. Q. Bach [Peter Schickele] , Notes, Second Series, Vol. 30, No. 4 (Jun., 1974), pp. 863-864 Last accessed Date|2008-06-07.] "The Seasonings" as well as the "Serenude (for devious instruments").
