I'd love to learn a brass instrument. I've done piano, strings (cello) and woodwind (oboe) so have a gap. What's best to go for if you want to make a tolerable noise reasonably quickly?

French horn probably makes the least worst sound... :P I remember my beginning years of playing the oboe and tenor sax...was told I sounded like a dying duck! I didn't put the garbage out for several weeks, I was that miffed! ;)

French horn is quite difficult though, isn't it? Isn't the pitch more stable in other brass instruments?

It can be...it's hard to say. Also its mouthpiece is quite small though it's not too hard to get a reasonable sound on it.

I'd find trombone rather challenging with the different positions for the pitches...though handy if you have a good ear...and a long arm for seventh position is a bit of a reach! ;)

I took trumpet lessons in my last year of school because I had passed all my exams but was too young for uni. I was always flat. However, I had the edge on the rest of the school band becayse i knew I was flat. They made me first trumpet 😂😂

I’ve remembered we do have one ‘musical’ instrument in the house. I don’t know what it is, we bought it as it was a nice thing to hang on the wall 😅

That’s a post horn. They also come in a (very long) straight version.

Ace bit of kit.
