SadTrombone. com is an entertainment website built around the familiar sad-trombone sound effect, using it as a playful punctuation mark for online failures and disappointing moments. The site says it began in June 2008 as a project created during downtime by developers at Forum Communications Company, then known as the Interactive Media Group.
Its core offering is a simple way to play the sound, including through an updated Alexa skill that responds to the request, “Alexa, ask sad trombone to play viking horn. ” The brand presents itself with a light, humorous tone and invites visitors to use the effect to underline everyday mishaps, from executive decisions made without due process to parenting challenges. SadTrombone.
com has received mentions on websites and television projects, and it was named the first official sponsor of The B. S. of A.
with Brian Sack. The site also credits Alba Web Studio and the Buzz! JavaScript HTML5 audio library
