[@aegsalad]

MysteriousNinjaGamerKD3
I think you meant *trombone* not Trombone. You don't capitalize instrument names, as it says here in this article from Wilktone: www.wilktone.com/?p=1628
Here is a quote: "Instruments are not proper names and shouldn't be capitalized (trumpet, not Trumpet). Musical styles are also not capitalized (baroque, jazz, neoclassicism, etc.), but stylistic eras should be (Baroque era, Swing era, etc.)."
Get it right next time you scrub.
