Well I personally did not do this, but I think someone dropped one of the school's concert tubas down the stairs. I am not sure if this was an accident or not.

Down stairs? Not me. But our trumpet player was sitting at the verytop of some visitor bleachers and he dropped it off the top. It didn't ding it or anything. Later in the season, he sat on it and had to get it replaced he dented it so bad. Loser... stare

I asked my friend to hold my cornet, which wasn't even a year old, so I could go use the bathroom.
Before I even got two feet away, I heard a crash.
She tried to set it down on its bell (which you're not supposed to do in the first place), and it fell over, falling a good 2-3 feet onto concrete. All I saw at first was a little scratch on the bell, but then later I saw this HUGE scratched dent on its tubing. D:
I wasn't mad at her, 'cause I know it was an accident. I thought my dad would be mad, but he says it's a "war dent".
Does that count?

Psycho Sabs During a football game in jr. high someone dropped their trumpet. When we were on the bleachers. That's way too common..dropping an instrument while sitting on bleachers. Thankfully, I haven't done that yet. My trumpet has just fallen out of my lap two or three times within the past year (FML). It doesn't have dents or scratches, but the tubing bent downward slightly so I have to hold it up a little higher than usual when I'm marching. It's not affecting the sound at all, so my parents don't really think it's worth getting it fixed with how flexible people have to be with money these days neutral

My section leader had a similar problem. It wasn't with stairs though - it was with pink string. The director had put a line of string along the diagonal for a set (they were making a Z, as their show was Zorro). My section leader was a little late, and was jogging across the field. Needless to say, he tripped over the string and fell on his mellophone. He smashed the bell in. It had to go in for repairs. Ever since then, my band director would refer to the pink string incident whenever discussing diagonals or instrument care.

Not really down the stairs, but it's almost a curse or a tradition that every flute has dropped their instrument during class only to have it hit the stand. It happens all the time.

I've managed to throw it 10-13 feet off the ground, I thought I could catch it, but then, it landed on the ground, concrete.
I don't think it was broken, just some of those wire things were out of place.
But there was a massive dent on the foot joint D:.

bit late but I thought Id add my own story, mine fell up the stairs, yes up the stairs, heres how it happened, I was at the district concert festival and we were in the backroom warming up, I was pacing because I had a solo that night and was super nervous, my bari was less then a year old we had just gotten it at the beginning of the year, and I slid on the floor and it landed on the choir bleachers infront of me bounced up the choir bleachers while I went straight into the back of a piano, through some miracle the instrument was undamaged but made for an interesting change of events...

We dance(or spaz as our sax player calls it) in the stands when the drumers are playing Tech. My friends clarinet came in half(where you put it together) and dropped down the bleachers. The mouth piece split into two pieces. I was horrified. Especially since im also a clarinet player.

Not down stairs, up them. A freshman in our clarinet section was walking up the stairs to the main level of the school and someone pushed her. The clarinet smacked on the concrete stairs and the cork on the middle part broke off. Not just the cork, but the place at the top where you attach the barrel is gone. We're making shirts that say "clarinet mafia: you break our instruments, we break you."
