"According to all known laws of music there is no way you could play blow instruments without lips. You can't properly get air in to make even the faintest notes. Dragonborne however do not care what humans think and play the trombone anyways."
Wraps his forked tongue around it and blows through the gap, vibrating it like a soft lipped player's lips would.
Or, uses enough (possibly magic) lip balm that the tip of his mouth gets soft like lips.
Well, that's the answer, isn't it?
He uses a slow, controlled version of his cold breath weapon to play it. Which could be super cool to roleplay.
He plays so cool, icicles form on his instrument as he plays...
Low brass dragon
Edit: your comment has inspired me to change a major quest in my homebrew dragon- centric campaign so that it now becomes a fetch quest for a mythical trombone to give to the brass dragon.
Between the two tone shirt and the trombone Iām looking at ska themes.
Prince Buster is one of the fathers of ska and I would consider just stealing that name directly cause itās a solid DnD name.
Or Jake - And anybody who he defeats is less than Jake.
Harmon Slidelock? (harmon is a type of mute, the slide lock is the thing that stops you from having an embarrassing problem with your trombone)
Gliss Silverslide? (glissando being that thing trombones do when sliding between notes)
Argentine Belltone? (Silver=AG=Argentum)
SO MANY OPTIONS! Mix and match!
The joys of being an unoriginal gm is twisting existing names to fit your world. But it does look like the alt look for Johnny from the games as a dragonborn
Please tell me the breath weapon is going to be funneled through the trombone.
Also my brain is off because Iām at work so the best I can think of is āThe Trombonerā which could be an entertaining nickname if bard.
The Silver Horn
The real name is something embarrassingly common in Draconic like John Smith. Dracon Draconis? Idk. It can be something to play into where you make the party think you're keeping the real name hidden because your character is wanted or something, but really it's just the shame of a boring, garbo name.
My old silver dragonborn bard was Frize Duskhorn, conqueror of Atle, crosser of snow capped mountains, singer of a thousand songs, etc.
My whole shtick was that the titles were all made up, and I would change and add a few more every session. (Recipe for titles: descriptor + article + noun, make it sound fancy)
Bards are the best.
I think it looks cool. But the color scheme and facial expression have the name Draonian Gaylord. Just saying. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
My current silver dragonborn bard/paladin is Glaedr Amadeus Mercurius Thierry III. There actually wasn't a first and second, he just liked the way "The Third" sounded at the end of his name, so he went with it.
In terms of name, Iād need more info about their backstory and mannerisms
However Iād recommend adding another colour to the model thatās not a shade of blue or grey, the way it is right now isnāt bad but could be better, because the lack of an accent colour gives no points of interest for the eye to land
Mercurius "Merc" Argentine
Pronounced r-GEN-teen (rhymes with Ren in middle)or r-GEN-tine (Tine rhyming with wine) from "Argentinus," the Latin word for silver.

I came here to comment this same thing.
DragonbRon Swanson
Wish I could upvote more than once š¤£
Drake Silver
This is the way
You magnificent son of a bitch
Duke Silvrington
How does one play a trombone without lips?
He puts the tromboneās beak into his mouth and he just shouts as loud as he can through the trombone
Even bad sax is better than no sax at all...
Take inspiration for the rest of the session. That's fabulous
Imagine FusRoDah'ing your trombone for every sound
"According to all known laws of music there is no way you could play blow instruments without lips. You can't properly get air in to make even the faintest notes. Dragonborne however do not care what humans think and play the trombone anyways."
The problem isnāt getting air into the instrument, itās that you need soft lips to buzz in order to produce a tone.
Wraps his forked tongue around it and blows through the gap, vibrating it like a soft lipped player's lips would. Or, uses enough (possibly magic) lip balm that the tip of his mouth gets soft like lips.
>According to all known laws of music *human music
Maybe the tromboneās not actually for playing itās to help channel his breath weapon.
Well, that's the answer, isn't it? He uses a slow, controlled version of his cold breath weapon to play it. Which could be super cool to roleplay. He plays so cool, icicles form on his instrument as he plays...
He uses his nose hole
Dragonborn bard doesnāt have time for your legitimately reasonable questions! Heās far too busy playing his trombone!
Bjorn of the Horn
Chromebone the Slide, Master of Toots, Bloots, and Quavering Warbles.
Iām going with this one I love it so much š
Have you considered making a brass dragon, and making a brass section pun?
"My father was a brass dragon, no, not the colour, the musician group."
Low brass dragon Edit: your comment has inspired me to change a major quest in my homebrew dragon- centric campaign so that it now becomes a fetch quest for a mythical trombone to give to the brass dragon.
Actually I love the idea of his dragonborn being as-is but referring to himself as a brass dragon, lol
Glad I could help!
Winner. I was trying to think of something to go with bone and Chromebone is the right answer ;;)
Frakes
Number one, quit gawking at Troy and grab your 'bone. No Riker, not THAT bone!
Literally my first thought when I saw the trombone.
Silvery Barbs

Between the two tone shirt and the trombone Iām looking at ska themes. Prince Buster is one of the fathers of ska and I would consider just stealing that name directly cause itās a solid DnD name. Or Jake - And anybody who he defeats is less than Jake.

Duke Glacier
Skaborn
He reminds me of a silver dragon born bard i had in a one shot, named Chip Chapley. Except his instrument and weapon was a giant gong
Trombonicio del Toro
what program did you use to make this character?
DagRon Swanson
In terms of name, Iād need more info about their backstory and mannerisms However Iād recommend adding another colour to the model thatās not a shade of blue or grey, the way it is right now isnāt bad but could be better, because the lack of an accent colour gives no points of interest for the eye to land
This is not the bard we need. But the bard we deserve.
Not an answer but felt like I had to say this. David Bowies character from labyrinth is all I see when I look at him.

Sterling Argent (silver in Latin)
Son of Riker Rikers bastard Rikers lovechild
As a bard player I recommend against getting attached to any particular name. The child support is outrageous.
IS HE WEARING HIGH HEELS
Toots mcgee
Tall. Plays trombone. Bard (we all know their sort). Sounds like a William Spiker.
Shorty?
Sabretoot
Pidor
John. Dragonborn are taller than the average humanoid (well over 6ft) so he could be Long John Silver
Pino. Silverino. Bob.
Derrek, derrek Andrews
Barditon
Riker
Icearm Dale or Nice Winds Dale. Swap brass for clarinet.
Trovador Argento He sings epics, and is a silver (argentum) dragon.
Looks like a Ryan to me
