[Trombone-l] bass trumpet

[Jason Smith]

I thought in Italian the word for trombone means big trumpet, because I always joke that in the last days when Gabriel blows the last trumpet that they are actually going to blow a trombone because they want to blow the bigest trumpet they can find.  lol

on a related note,  when we wash out tubas (which we are doing alot lately)  they alway say not to worry that they are just big cornets,  they are still something heavy when they get full of water
