[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend and I are having a debate about what instruments are the hardest and easiest to play well.  What do you think?

I think trumpet is the easiest and violin is the hardest.  I also think French horn and oboe are very hard.

Weird, because I would say the trumpet is actually the hardest.  I have a friend who majored in music in college, specifically playing the trumpet.  If she takes a break from it for too long, it takes weeks to be able to train herself back into it again because of the particular mouth movements and such.  It's not an instrument you can just pick up and expect to be able to play what even remotely passes for music.  At least with the violin, the bow on string will actually make a musical sound.

My son is a fairly dedicated euphonium player. He's thinking about taking an international trip this summer for a few weeks, and one of his concerns is the effect on his embouchure if he goes that amount of time without playing. (I think he can mitigate against this somewhat by just buzzing with a mouthpiece.)[/quote]
