Hey, I have one of those, only it’s plastic and valveless. It was originally sold for use at San Francisco 49ers games. “Brapper” is exactly the word for it.
Broomie, however, is old enough to remember P.D.Q. Bach’s “windbreaker” and “sewerflute”, so this use of the trumpet can’t be a total surprise.
Oh, yes: does this instrument play brapp music? ;)
I took lessons on the brapper for three years. Finally my music teacher told me if I wanted to exercise my lips to get a girlfriend. Drat, I thought I was the next Louie Armstrong.
He can play with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brapps.
bald, pretty soon you’ll be watching them in Santa Clara. (If they try to make a deal with Los Angeles, expect another lawsuit from Al Davis; it’s the one suit SF will be hoping Al wins…)

Or, as P.D.Q. Bach did, a “windbreaker” (see above). :)
Factoid For The Day: The British call the familiar jacket a “windstopper”, and rumor has it that they find the American name “windbreaker” hilarious.

Under the covers at night I call it my “barking frog”…
@Rakkav…I once knew a American Indian called “Chief breaking wind”…LOL..

I’m not a horn player, but I can brapp with the best of ‘em, especially after dinner.
GROG Premium Member about 15 years ago
SherlockWatson I can brapp during.

the only way i can think of for this to be more fun is if Broomie would have “gift brapped” it.
