[quote=Anonymous]I realized my kid who played piano liked treble clef instruments where specific fingering produced the note--of these flute was the best fit for her because her mouth shape made reed based woodwinds (e.g. oboe/clarinet) a bit uncomfortable. Saxophone was second choice even though it was reed-based something about the shape/size felt more natural to her. There's sometimes a day when they offer an instrument "zoo" (I can't remember when/where it was offered now--and this was pre-pandemic so who knows if that's no longer a thing) where you go around and try out different instruments and kids can feel which feel right on their mouths, which are uncomfortable to hold because of weight or how you need to stretch your arms etc. Now that she's older she's added guitar to the mix.[/quote]
