The Tromboon (also called a babone) is a musical instrument made up of the reed and bocal of the bassoon attached to the body of a trombone in place of the trombone's mouthpiece, combining the "worst" aspects of each instrument, a reed and a slide.
The trombone is often called the true head of the family of wind instruments.
The name of the instrument is a portmanteau of "trombone" and "bassoon".
The name "trombone" comes from the Italian word tromba for trumpet.
Change the suffix "a" to the Italian suffix "one", meaning "big", and you get trombone meaning "big trumpet".
