The article explains that. Yamaha manufactured a special trombone made of brass and other non-ferrous materials. The mouthpiece was made of plastic. The critial issue in an MRI is not metal, but any metal or alloy with iron in it. Other metals are not impacted by the magnets. good question though.

A good idea would be to actually read the article.
