He seems determined to make a trumpet sound like a tin whist

Summary

This quote suggests that someone is attempting to play a trumpet in a way that does not accurately represent its intended sound. Instead of producing the strong and bold notes characteristic of a trumpet, the person is purposefully aiming for a softer and less impressive sound, similar to that of a tin whistle. This could indicate a deliberate choice to defy expectations or to explore alternative musical expressions, showcasing the individual's determination to create a unique and unconventional experience.
