Someone recently requested a trombone, and they had this:
 ____/|
(____\|______

It didn't take me long to realize how difficult constructing a trombone 
might be.  To wit:
           ,
  _ ____--'|
 /-|----__ |
|' O      \|
 `=|==================.
        D============='

Obviously, it would be more useful to take another tack altogether.
So I tried this:

                                               a
                                              dH 
                                           .adHH
                                     _.aoAHHHHHH

Well, at least the top curve of the bell looks good.
