Well, I can't think of anything that would be "EASY".

You have two obsticles that I can see. One is, what will propell the flame and two, what will ignite it. It would seem that you will need to install something like a glow plug inside the instrument and a way to make the connection to get it to glow. Also, what will propell the flame. I can only thik of something like "Hell's Fire" (lycopodium powder). When this powder is sqeezed from the plastic bottle nozzle across a flame, it shoots a stream of fire.

That's about the best I can think of. I'm sure there are others that can come up with something better. Good luck.

Well I could easily just rig something up,,, what is tricky for me is I want this flash to come out of it at the end of my buddys solo he plays on it. SO it still has to be safely playable.
I was thinking mabe just a flash but with a battery taped into the bell, and then have the chord just run along the horn and have the switch on the floor
