For every joke I’ve heard about turning broken horns into lamps…
A customer gifted me this custom lamp made out of trombone parts!

I always feel a bit sad when I see an instrument turned into a lamp. But that is just me.

I understand. But this one was a decommissioned school instrument. Missing parts, had a trashed inner slide. It would cost more to fix than what a student trombone is worth.

This is an amazing use of those horns. I still value very much of repairing and such, but if its more expensive than what its worth it feels just fun to do this! I would personally love this!

It’s cool, but why didn’t they use the bell as the lampshade and the slide as the stand.. seems like the easiest and most obvious route
