Today, I heard that if you put earphones in your nose, the sound comes out of your mouth. Applying the same principle, I put my earphones in my trombone. It was LOUD! I’m never using speakers again! IMMD

I call BS. I believe you can hear it a little better, but you can’t make power out of nothing. A trombone would only serve to refocus the sound waves coming out of your earphones, not amplify them.
true enough, but focusing sound can make a big difference. have you seen — and heard — one of these things in action before?

Resonance is a powerful thing – those old phonographs with the big horns got listenable sound out of the tiny vibrations of a steel needle without any electrical input.
It’ll sound like crap, and there’s a upper limit on what you can reasonably achieve, but it can get louder just through reinforcement and reverb.
“Never using speakers again” is probably a bit of a big ask
Everyone who just stuck your earbuds up your nose, you just got PUNKED! Earboogers FTL!
Except it does actually work.
Bit less disgusting to either hold the buds to your larynx or in your molars (with a dry mouth) though.
i did get punked D: it ruined my day
Hahahahaha I tried it even though I’ve got a cold. Best use for those poncy little iPod earphones ever. And my nose is clearer now. =D
That comment made my day
Simple projection doesn’t necessarily outweigh the benefits of amplification, but if it works, it works. (If the speakers you were using were non-powered, there wouldn’t be much of a difference anyway.)
On another note, considering how brass instruments work, I wouldn’t do it though — call me crazy if you like, but getting spit on something that you stick in your ears doesn’t really appeal to me. If you don’t mind giving yourself wet willies though, go right ahead. *shrug*
If you put them where the mouthpiece goes, you don’t have to worry about that. I took out my mouthpiece and taped my earphones to the lead pipe. No spit. It totally works. (but I play tuba, not trombone)
yes!
hahaha I play tuba and I’ve done that too!
Note to self: don’t borrow lex’s earphones.
Now about that spit valve…
OVER THE SINK! OVER THE SINK!
After reading this, I applied the same thing to my tuba. I took out the mouthpiece and stuck my earphones in the lead pipe. I’m not using my tuba as speakers. xD Your epic WIN has led to another epic WIN. Go you! *high-fives*
*now… not “not”… “now” xD FAIL.
I have an iPod and a trombone so I just tried it. If you hold the earbud to the where the mouthpiece would go sound does come out of the bell. It seemed louder at first, but I figured out it was because I was holding the bell closer to my head than the earbud. It does make the sound clearer than just holding the earbud a similar distance away from you. I still need speakers!
Ahhm… I don’t think… that’s really the SAME principle. Unless you’re referring to the principle that sound travels. … Just saying.
Everyone who read this and then proceeded to try said amplification with the nose raise your hand.
It works, not the loudest, but definitely audible.
mlia?
Definitely
Band geeks rule
Indeed we do. xD *high fives*
Now, when you listen to Miley Cyrus sing, you can slide the slide out until she’s in the right key!
lol
*goes to try this out on my French horn*
At least earbuds in your trombone is WAY less icky…
that is fantastic. that made my day
It did not work for me.. Yes i put earphones in my nose. No I’m not ashamed.
it works with a trumpet too!!!
please, someone make a video demonstration haha
Yes! The next post needs to be on Youtube!
oh, confirmed*
Your “trombone”? Is that what you call it? I’m trying not to picture where the music came out.
oh i just have to try this with my sax…
This is one of the most excellent uses of trombone I’ve heard of. >> I wish I had mine with me…
