Music

Bradley Hornblower lived up to his name. He had amassed a collection of unfamiliar and odd musical instruments from the past. Each was tested to see what kind of noise it made.

Thus it was, when he came across a strange horn in his favourite antique shop, he had to try it. Pursing his lips, he blew into what seemed the likely mouthpiece.

A mournful bellow of wavering sound was produced. A curious crowd gathered as Bradley tried to produce a tune from the thing. Finally, one of the onlookers spoke up.

“Why are you blowing into a motorcycle exhaust?”



Word count: 100
For no particular reason, apart from the fact I like writing 100-word stories.
Self-administered prompt: Instrument.
