@catsalad as a trumpet player, I offer nothing but encouragement to them (and maybe advice to buy some reusable musician's earplugs sooner than later. There's plenty of good ones for $20-$40 a pair online.)

@catsalad Your dog’s face is incredible

@catsalad As a trombone player, the main thing that bothers me about this is that the trombone has been assembled in a mirror image of the correct way. It should be held with the left hand, and the slide operated with the right hand. The bell of the horn goes on the left. Otherwise, play on!

@catsalad To be fair, trombones are loud, so I'm with the dog on this one.

@catsalad @chicating A trombonist left their trombone in the back of their unlocked car in a bad neighborhood. “Oh no! Left my car unlocked!” and they scurried back to their vehicle. But it was too late—there were four more trombones in there.
