If you took a stoner that wasn't a band geek and showed them a mouthpiece from a brass instrument and they would instantly assume it was a bong slider lol. I don't know what your trombone is made out of however. Certain metals emit harmful smoke when heated. I'll let one of the smarter members figure that out. But mouthpieces look like their designed for the job.

id say youll be good to make a bowl out of it. just be careful to not let the flame lay on the brass too long (im guessing its brass) and only hit the herb. the heat embering herb will make int enough to make the brass harm you ...if brass would even harm you. not too sure.

being a self procalimed band geek....
Those are made of brass usually....sometimes (if you have a cheap one) there is some copper in there and..very rarely-and not on new mouthpieces-some tin...now not being a chemist, someone else has to tell you the effects of heating those.
BTW...they make GREAT bong sliders lol...so do alto clarinet bells

i made my old trumpet mouthpiece into a bowl (same thing just a bit smaller) it works perfectly and i didnt notice any odd taste or anything. cant be much worse than tinfoil if it is of course bad for you

YEAHH GO CLARINET PLAYERS!!!
That tenorman really shouldn't do that, it can fuck a lot of shit up...and yes those can be very expensive.
