An affair with the trombone

The Daily Express featured the trombone last week following revelations that not taking up an instrument is one of the nation's most oft-stated regrets.

Apparently a full 16% of men and 11% of women "wished they'd learnt to express themselves through music", but of all the instruments to represent this expression, it is not clear why the Daily Express chose the print a large picture of a trombone.

Or perhaps playing these slide instrument resonates with Freudian imagery of the first on their list of suggested regrets: "Whether it’s having an affair – or not having one"?
