What does it sound like when a trombonist sneezes into their instrument during a concert? Now we all know.

During a concert in Tiptree in Essex, a member of the London Central Fellowship Band felt an ill-timed tickle in his nose.

The trombonist, Trevor Smith, sneezed into his instrument, creating a rather adorable sound not dissimilar from a baby elephant’s sneeze.

The audience for the concert seemed mostly unmoved by the preposterous noise, as does the band's conductor, who manages to keep the performance going without interruption.

Smith, now the band’s treasurer, has since admitted to being the “unfortunate perpetrator of the crime”, after the video went viral on YouTube.

There are two clips of the moment on YouTube, both with millions of views. And rightly so.
