Power to the trumpets!

Really, I think that you should go for the tenor sax, but do not lose your lips for the trumpet!. Usually, trumpet players that play low woodwind instruments in combination have better control over thier sound!. I wouldn't think that the tenor sax would be hard only because you have the chops to handle the mouthpiece!. Your only concern should be the different fingerings since trumpet only has 3 valves, a problem that practice can overcome!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, you're a trumpet player so switching from brass to woodwind would be pretty difficult in my opinion, but it's easier for some rather than others!.!.!. i'm learning tenor for marching band, i play bass clarinet so that's a pretty easy switch!. but good luck ! :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

i can only help you a little bit, because i play the alto sax!. so mabey this would be good enough, hopefully it will, lol!.!.!.

the alto was for the most part easy to learn, the hardest part in my oppinion was learning how to breathe properly while playing it!. its really fun to play the sax, you'd like it!!!
