Playing a trombone usually does not mean playing microtones in tune.
Imagine a greater-than-twelve-tone chromatic scale.
Or go listen to some Harry Partch. Partch's compositions sound to me more like gamelan than someone noodling on a trombone.

- waffletower 2y agoPartch is a good recommendation -- with a fairly large focus on microtonal percussion -- but you do dismiss the trained trombonists who actually train and perform microtonal works. It isn't necessary to disparage a viable microtonal instrument to make your point.
