"... as are all the other brass instruments for 175 years."

Yup, true, although the trombone is still older (as mentioned elsewhere), and change in musical instruments occurs more slowly than glaciers move (with some exceptions, of course).

I've joked that the age of the oboe's design is not due to having reached perfection hundreds of years ago, but due to the fact that they just gave up on trying to fix it.
