Is it hard to learn the sexaphone? *coughs* Both of you were spelling it incorrectly--it's saxophone. (They won't let you say just "sax" on Neopets, so I had to learn the full spelling when I tried to tell people about it.) I started to learn tenor sax around Christmas, but I had to postpone it because I didn't have the time for sax, flute, AND homework. (It needs a few repairs and then I'll start up again.) Tenor sax takes a while to get used to blowing so hard--forcing the air through the reed and then down through the whole thing takes a lot of effort; flute takes lots of air, since most of it never gets into the instrument at all, but not that much force behind it--and I'd bet barry sax is worse. From what I've heard, alto is the easiest (of the three most common; there are seven altogether in the Eb and Bb keys, two above and two below those three). But is it harder? Probably no more so than any other instrument (easier, if you've already learned all the musical theory because of your other!).

Oh, uber spiffy, Megz...congrats! I don't play guitar, and I never really plan to, but it's a wonderful instrument. It's all shiny-ness-ness-ness...very cool

I don't yet but I plan to later in life, right now I'm learning the piano. My parents said it was a good start to all music.

Playing the recorder is hard work, if you put your fingers in the right position..It lets out this sound: FrrtBeep (Something like that:P)
