Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i am small built and have to make a choice of which instrument to play.

i say the flute becuase that what i play. its a little easier than the clarinet and you won't have to buy any reeds. the tumpet and french horn are hard to play and take alot of air to blow into.

drums, break the mould and be cool

Go with the flute especially if you have long slender fingers and don't smoke.

Clarinet, it's least difficult and I think it's a great sound

i'd say tuba cause is really cool seeing a small person play something so big

french horn is easier after you've played the trumpet but is really rewarding. If your considering doing this in college you might want to look into which one is the least taken as that will help you decide.

i would say flute, as i guess it would be easier to handle, and if you wish to get a flute, you can get it at 88b website and look for flute or you can also look for flute for rental

Are you planning on going into marching band or something? I think you should really try and go to a music store and test out each one to see if you can even make a sound out of it. All of those instruments depend on your facial structure more than the rest of your body (like a person with a gap in their front teeth usually does well with a trumpet).

And flute in marching band is NOT the easiest to handle because you have to have it at a perfect straight line (at least if the band is worth mentioning) and of course you can't really see if it's in a straight line very well with your peripheral vision. For marching band, clarinet is probably the easiest. Really though, if you are working out on your arms it's not that difficult. If you are talking about general band, then I go back to the first statement...try out some instruments. If you can take a bottle, blow over it, and make it whistle, chances are you can play the flute.

-and yes I say this from experience...I play flute (have for well over 13 years), I can make decent sounds out of a clarinet (keys are relatively similar), it's not that hard.

i tot you want the clarinet?but the flute cuter!

I would go with the flute. It's actually very easy to play and very light weight (perfect for marching band). Plus the fingerings are similar to the oboe so if you wanted to play two instruments you'd have a head start on a new instrument.

I love playing the flute. It's fun to play and the sound is very pretty.

Truly, it's up to you...and pick what interests you. French horn is kinda cool too and it also has a pretty sound.
