Wow, it really works too. Interesting *musical selection at the beginning of the video: Instrumental version of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Two Tribes."

Adding video to channels (Music) - requested by kronosposeidon.

Very cool.

Just don't look too closely at it after it's been played. Eww.

That was totally cool, and he's got some serious chops too. But where's the spit valve? The sound track had some nice trombone bits in it too - that part around 1:00 would be fun to belt out - is that an "original" version of Frankie or could it have been custom-arranged for this?

There's no spit valve, and the mouthpiece is permanently attached. Most trombones allow you to change out the mouthpiece in order to get a slightly different sound.

The advantage of doing a trombone is that it doesn't matter quite so much if you can't get the tuning slide to work in glass. It'll be slightly off with the slide all the way in, but a skilled player should be able to adjust for every other note.

That said, making a trombone out of glass that not only works but sounds good is frigging impressive.
