I get up at 5am every day, and I endorse this window.
I figured it was late enough that it wouldn't bug third shifters and early enough that it didn't bug sleeping kids
Probably about 2 PM. Usually I wait until all my housemates are at least awake and forewarned before doing loud things
1 PM
Depends on local laws.
Generally, I would say 10 am is fair, 8 is too early for some people.
you can start at 4am if you kick it off with When The Saints Go Marching In, begun again at the top of every hour getting consistently more and more jazzy.
I think it's the same rules as hoovering or lawn mowing. Probably about 10am - 11am but you could just ask your neighbour.
I'd guess anytime after single digit AM
when they start serving brunch.
The true trombonist admits no limitations upon their art.
Some important questions for the trombonist to consider:
- Is it your trombone?
- Can you play Sandstorm by Darude?
- Why are you reading this rather than tooting your own horn?
:sicko-toot:
Exactly 4am
I would say the same as tradesmen working noisy equipment. In the uk that is 8am-6pm weekdays. 8am-1pm on a weekend. This is your job so it would follow that it takes the same hours as that. However I would say that trombones are not quite the same as a disk cutter, so perhaps run the times an hour or so later, e.g. 9/10am - 7/8pm weekdays dependant on local conditions. Likewise for the weekend maybe flex your times respectfully about local religious customs where appropriate.
Also most importantly, talk to your neighbours. They need to have quiet enjoyment of their residence and you need to practice. Find an equitable solution where possible showing compassion and understanding. E.G. if you have a nurse or factory worker who works nights, try to flex about their sleep schedule. They need to sleep right?
To be honest, it’s also not unreasonable to hire or find practice space if you need to be regularly creating noise. Probably easier for you to concentrate in a dedicated space too.

No more half measures walter 
I appreciate the well-thought-out comment. Unfortunately, my neighbours are the ones playing trombone.
I won't, but it would be funny if I printed out this thread and put it in their mailbox.
Ahh… I did not understand that it was your neighbour’s kid. You’re fucked then. There is nothing else for it. You’re going to have to get up to hijinks: dress up as a child, infiltrate the neighbours kid’s school, become the coolest most popular ‘kid’ there. Then using that social status with the other kids convince them to bully all trombone players. (Maybe some collateral here). Then, with any luck, the bullying from the neighbour’s kids peers causes the them to give up the hobby, winning you your peace and quiet back.
Or frame the child for murder? A little time in Juvie will sort the issue…

But what about if you're a professional tradesperson and you're a trombone enthusiast on the side?
~~Sad trombone noises~~ No trombone noises
Practice deep in the woods late at night. If nothing else you’ll start some really interesting urban legends.
I'd probably go with 10 just to be safe but you'd probably be fine a bit earlier as well
How good a musician are they?
Also like, 8am probably, what time are tradies allowed to pick up tools, 6?
How good a musician are they?
They are about 8 years old, and, uh, not a prodigy.
They need extra practice then. 00:00am to 6am
If I'm your neighbour then between 7pm and 5am. I'm far too stressed to sleep at night.
On the rooftop, dawn / 7 am is OK, else, wait until 9:30 am
Dr. Doom toots as he pleases!
