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 name of the instrument is a portmanteau of "trombone" and "bassoon". The sound quality of the instrument is best described as comical.

Certainly sounds G*dawful!!!!

Peter Schickle (aka PDQ Bach) wrote music for all sorts of strange and weird instruments, and being a bassoon player himself, he concocted a bassoon with a long hose attachment, wrote pieces where you play only with the bocal, etc.etc. You can listen to bits of his Octoot, which uses some of these funny sounds, on the internet here and there. Just google Octoot.
