Hi, Aren't Trombones cheaper than cornets? Straight tenor is relatively inexpensive, and you'll get a Conn 88h for roughly the same price as a good cornet. I my experience trombone players tend to own their own, partly because they also tend to get gigs in jazz bands, orchestras etc. However, I do know a few cornet players with their own trumpets, for similar reasons. On the subject of looking after instruments, in our band we sign for our instruments. It's a legally binding form that states if the instrument is damaged in any way, no matter how slightly, you will be held liable for up to and beyond the cost of a new one. In the 4(?) years its been in place, there have been no seized slides,valve caps, no dents or damage. We went from going to a repair man every few weeks to once every few years. Realistically, only in the case of pure stupidity and carelessness of epic proportions would we fine anyone any amount, but if you have kids in the band, try sending that home to parents, and then see how well the instrument is looked after;-) --
