The trombone is the only instrument with a (non-tuning) slide, used to change the note and tuning. In theory, a good trombone player should be able to maintain perfect pitch forever, adjusting the position of the slide very slightly as well as flexing their embouchure. The trombone has been scientifically proven to be the loudest wind instrument, capable of overplaying, individually, 3 trumpets, 7 tubas, 40 clarinets, 4 horn players, and sometimes (depending on the players) the entirety of the orchestra.
By other band members, trombones/trombonists are often thought to be a) bad players, b) bad instruments, and/or c) selfish jerks. A is often used when around beginners; it is often hard to adjust to the slide and similar. As for tone, one can't account for everyone's tastes, but those who enjoy trombone sounds praise what they say is a mellow, brassy yet sweet sound accomplished by those proficient with the instrument. See the above for an explanation of beginning sounds. For C, trombones aren't the ones causing that, so please take your insults elsewhere.
As to players themselves, many say they enjoy the playing of the instrument because, firstly, it is, again, the loudest instrument, excepting percussion, etc., secondly, it has an interesting sound, unlike that of trumpets or woodwinds, and lastly, because it is simply fun to wave the slide around and pretend you are shooting a Nerf gun at the conductor.

Get the Rusty Trombone mug.This stunt can be done by either two guys or a male and female. this is how it works. lets take the two guys for example, one will get on his knee's and will be facing the guys ass while he stands ( note: must be naked for stunt to work ) . the one on his knees begins to give the one in front a reach around.( just like using a trombone ) but trombone's are used by not only your hands but your mouth. so this is where the "rusty" part takes affect. the one on his kness will begin licking/eating out the ass infront of him. there you have it folks, the rusty trombone!
