son has come home from school with a trumpet
 

it was funny for the first hour,

does anyone have a room i can rent till next year.

When he comes home with a strumpet it's time to worry

Put a bung in one end and pour some melted jelly down it and leave to cool, that should do the trick :thumb:

nick the mouthpiece when he is not looking.:thumb: job done.

ear plugs?

Well he'll now grow up to be either a burglar or bugler :D

Could be worse, he could have come home with a Fat, Scouse, Gypsy, Lesbian, mixed race, vertically challenged, chav, Policewoman riding a recumbent with a camera on the front. Best put a couple of these in.. ;) ;)

Thought mine was bad. He learnt to whistle (sans a tune ...) recently and now won't bleddy stop! As you say, funny for 5 mins but ruddy annoying after that ...

One daughter plays Violin, the other Cello. In the morning it sounds as though we are torturing all the neighbourhood cats.

Steve

Or a watch obsessed nutter on a Moped :D

I feel so insulted now!!!
Les :D

Her youngest son came home with a recorder the other week, he's either lost or got bored of it as I haven't heard it for a week or so, the cats are just starting to come back into the house

:lol: watch out watch out, the thread reporters about:hjtwofing:D

I was JUSt gonna say, it could have been worse, could have came home with a Violin...

Don't get me wrong, beautiful instruments, but not until you get to a certain degree of competency!

Thought that was Marcus the wannabe moderator :D

Just to clear things up, I didnt report any thread, Markus did, I have never reported a thread or reply whilst using this site, I wanted to keep it all there.

spome of his mates have been given trombones:cuckoo:
he is 8 years old:Suspiciou

could of been worse he cold of come home with a gun or a knife :D which is the instrument of choise in most schools now

How dare you insult my wife lol:nono:

My lad was given a Baratone. They gave it to one girl in his class and its bigger than her...!!

trad jazz is the way forward for him :thumb:

I give it a week before it is assorted pieces of Brass.

what broken by me or taken apart by him:thumb:

You can just buy a 'mute'; a cone-shaped bit of plastic that fits in the end and reduces the volume a lot.

Are there any music shops left? Probably internet or flea bay is your best bet.

I bought a trumpet for a very good price at the local market-its blooming hard work though, and you have to do it in the garden too for the sake of peace!
