Well I know a trombone player that has taken some old trombones and flattened them to be sculptures around his yard; one is mounted as a weather-vane on the roof. While they are not being used to their noble :-) purpose, some might say --they are still making an artistic statement --legions of viola players' ears are that much more safe --now the proof is there that trombones can actually reach an appropriate ppp volume

Never! My first bassoon teacher had a floor lamp made from a 5-key bassoon. Even as a high school student I immediately understood that this was wrong, and for this and other reasons I only stayed w. him for a month or so. Musical instruments are meant to be played. Period. If one of them is beyond repair, then it should be discarded.
