[quote=Anonymous]I have twins and one plays trumpet and the other plays alto sax. They both love the instruments they chose and would choose them all over again. You’ve gotten good feedback but I will add the following observations: The trumpet is slight cheaper and slightly less heavy. Trumpet players are notoriously arrogant because you need to play nearly perfectly because people can hear you and any mistakes you might make. Sax is a little more forgiving. Both can be in jazz and marching and symphonic bands. No saxophones in orchestra but they do have trumpets. It is slightly easier to get into honors ensembles if you play trumpet vs sax just due to sheer numbers/instrumentation. They take more trumpets. But even better to switch to something obscure like French horn. The kid who plays French horn with my kids is not that good but gets tons of opportunities. [/quote]
