# Brass Musical Urinals Obsolete Instrument By Howard Wu | Published 2008-08-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brass-musical-urinals-obsolete-instrument References: [yeah-oops](http://www.yeah-oops.com/) This old tuba is just another adventure in a long line of [novelty urinals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice). The bell-shaped horn is hard to miss, and does have the function of funneling liquid in the right direction. I have no idea if the instrument can function musically, and I’d hate to see somebody try it out. This probably isn’t a good home invention, but it might be quite suitable for a [concert venue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throne-x). **Implications** - Consumers are looking for a form of entertainment with everything they do. Everyday products that feature a [whimsical element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anomalo) are appealing to those on-the-go who also desire some sort of fun among their responsibilities. Designers could incorporate an aspect of spontaneity into their items in order to attract more buyers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Whimsical Products:** Designing everyday products with a whimsical element to appeal to consumers looking for entertainment. - **Novelty Urinals:** Creating urinals with fun features to attract consumers seeking amusement in unexpected places. - **Musical Instruments as Decor:** Incorporating musical instruments into decor in unexpected ways, like turning a tuba into a urinal. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Incorporating novelty urinals into restaurants or concert venues to provide entertaining bathroom experiences for customers. - **Home Decor:** Designing whimsical items like musical instrument urinals to add a fun and unexpected element to home decor. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating novelty urinals like musical instrument urinals into event planning to provide an unexpected and entertaining element for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anti-Splashing Bathroom Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-urinal-design.md) - [Brass Instrument Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-trumpet.md) - [Heritage Sound Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hornscape-playground.md) - [Cheeky Bathroom Plungers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-plunger.md) - [Quirky Toilet Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-toilet-brush.md) - [Biologically Shaped Musical Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balls-in-concert.md) - [Outdoor Pee Funnel Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/save-a-tree-pee.md) - [Bathroom Privacy Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathroom-privacy.md) - [Whimsical Turkey Basters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-turkey-baster.md)
