Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'm a trumpet player so this will come straight from experience!. I've played trumpet for about 5-6 years and i switched to baritone which is another brass instrument for 2 years!. It was the same fingering for the notes if you played treble clef and mainly the same except you need alot more air support for low brass instruments like baritone, trombone, tuba, and so on!. I also am in the process to learning to play the alto sax which is a woodwind instrument and i can tell you this much!. It is way easier to learn the standard notes but im getting caught up with fingering the sharp and flat notes!. So end of my answer is go for another brass instrument since you have a wide variety of brass instruments to choose from!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I presume it would be much easier to play a woodwind than brass!. I'm fairly sure, but don't quote me on this, that a woodwind is simply air control, as opposed to lip/air control on brass!. I think the mouthpiece cup is about the same on a trombone as is a trumpet, so I think you're fine regarding that!.
