As a trombonist, I can beat you on that - I just wave it about, and use
at most one finger (I have a Bb/F). Still, I think a valve Bass Trombone
(Bb/F/G) (not that I've ever seen such a beast) would just about catch a
*typical* modern mouse up. A gaming mouse would still knock it into a
cocked hat.
