	Tromboon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tromboon (also called a babone) is a musical instrument made up of the reed and bocal of the bassoon attached to the body of a trombone instead of the trombone mouthpiece, combining the "worst" aspects of each instrument, a reed and a slide.
		The name of the instrument is a portmanteau of "trombone" and "bassoon".
		Detailed view of a tromboon; the bassoon reed is on the left

	Tromboon
		The tromboon is a musical instrument made up of the reed and bocal of the bassoon attached to the body of a trombone instead of the trombone mouthpiece.
		This instrument is called for in the scores of P. Bach in his oratorio The Seasonings as well as the Serenude (for devious instruments).

	Where are all the double reeders? - Page 4
		A tromboon is an unfortunate invention of sorts when one places the reed of a bassoon into the mouthpieve of a trombone and attempts to play.
		I really don't think the tromboons can actually be composed for, though.
		Bassoon does with the bass instruments (except bass oboe) and oboe does with treble instruments.

	Bud Clark Presents P.D.Q. Bach on 88.7KXMS / Fine Arts Radio International®
		P.D.Q. Bach's music constantly resurfaces in the most unlikely places, thanks to the tireless efforts of musicalologist Peter Schickele, recent lifetime achievement honoree of the 2001 Fine Arts Radio International® Awards.
		The new radio series will feature the many unusual instruments utilized so ineffectively by P.D.Q. Bach in his compositions, the tromboon, the lasso d'amore, and the hardart, to name just a few.
		Professor Clark will also season the musical mix with a few of the compositions of Peter Schickele, professor of music at the University of North Dakota at Hoople, himself a bassoon player and writer of film scores, classical chamber music, and jazz.

		To answer your question systematically, one category is funny sounds, which we may think of sometimes as being inherently funny but it is culturally biased.
		For instance there's a P.D.Q. Bach instrument called the tromboon, which has a bassoon reed inserted into a trombone instead of the mouthpiece and you get a sound sort of like a sick cow in the upper register and a squadron of planes going over in the lower.
		It really sounds funny in a classical context, but, for instance, we all know there's jazz where they get really growly sounds not meaning to be particularly funny, just meaning to be very down and dirty.

	Insider Audio, January 1997
		(?) Peter Schickele, the "discoverer" of the apocryphal classical composer P.D.Q. Bach, brought to the world was the "tromboon": a basoon reed and bocal inserted into a trombone slide.
		Since I was a bassoonist, and I had a friend who played the trombone, I was able to create one of these myself–and believe me, it sounded no less vile when I played it than when Schickele’s chamber ensemble did.
		This has now changed, with a new version of the operating system for the VL1 and VL7, and a Macintosh editing program that uses visual icons to create tromboons, as well as tubellos, flurinets, trumpitars, digeridistortolins, and all sorts of things Prof.

		The suspecting audience was treated to Schubert's beloved "Gretchen am Spinnrade," mutated into "Gretchen am Spincycle," an ode to laundry.
		Another lovely song about a shepherd on a hill became "Shepherd on the Rocks with a Twist," and was performed on the tromboon, a horn that "combines all the disadvantages of the trombone and the bassoon."
		Although Schickele maintains a busy touring and composing schedule, one wonders whether he is stuck in a holding pattern.

		P.D.Q. Bach's "compositions" gave Schickele the creative license to play a variety of musical genres.
		Schickele employed comedic rounds, rewritten versions of songs that sounded suspiciously like "Heart and Soul" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," and ridiculous musical instruments like the "tromboon," a cross between the trombone and bassoon.
		Schickele's tenor, David Dusing, also sang in a hilarious language made up of English/German that P.D.Q. Bach supposedly used in his writing.

		P.D.Q. Bach seldom wrote original tunes; for the most part he stole melodies from other composers and rearranged them in often funny ways.
		Also, P.D.Q. Bach's music uses instruments not often used in orchestras, such as the tromboon, slide whistle, hardart, lasso d'amore and kazoo, as well as items not normally used as musical instruments, such as balloons and bicycle.
		His music also calls for unusual methods of playing traditional instruments, such as the use of
