Flame shooting trombone

Cool:

It was invented by a University of Texas student.

    He’s got nothing on a flamethrowing guitar on a post-apocalyptic war-drum dump truck. #FuryRoad

    Unlike the standard trombone, the pyro-trombone produces a warmer sounding note …

  3. Tirno Says:

    Improvements to make:

    – Backpack mounted fuel tank for marching band
    – Burner ring around bell end instead of on a spike
    – Automatic mode for moderate flame projection when upward inclined
    – “En Flambe” manual mode for heckler suppression up for 30 feet away

    Also, we need a trumpet version using blue alcohol flames, and a tuba version that can shoot flaming vortex rings.

    Kinda like the bag piper better . . .

    The video takes place on the University of Texas at Austin campus; the tall building seen behind the band is the tower made infamous by Charles Whitman.

    And as an Aggie, I am proud the tea sips found a way to spice up their band, even though it was a foreigner who came up with the concept.

    Full disclosure: my daughter attends UT. She has always been a rebellious lass.

    I thought we were talking about the first UT. The one founded in 1794. Texas is good too, though.

    Only in Austin…

    would the announcement of a new invention be accompanied by a condemnation of budget cuts.

    This is an enhancement of the traditional proper use of the sackbut: leading parades. Imagine what 76 of these could do, properly arrayed and deployed, to an unruly populace. As Franklin put it, cheaper than a ship-of-the-line.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
