Sour note

She had been warned. Daddy told her to stop jumping around. Daddy tried to get her to calm down. Daddy tried to get his trombone out the way...but not before darling daughter fell and sat down heavily on one end of his trombone case - his soft sided trombone case. (...heavy sigh...)

Wah-wah-waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Little girl is fine – the trombone, not so much. The bell of the horn was bent slightly downward. Thankfully – it was fixable. The guy at the music store did a quick fix job (no charge) so it is now at least playable. We’ll have to do a full fix job later. It was a relief to hear. There's no way we could afford to replace his trombone right now - estimates run as high as $1,800.

Little girl is going to “pay” daddy back by doing jobs around the house. Hooray for child labor!
