Misc instruments What other instrument could you just not...

... get along with?

Lots of folks double or dabble; but have you ever fancied adding an instrument but just not come to terms with it (or them)?

Myself, I fancy a harp/mouth organ. I just don't get it. Luckily, trying costs little in that case.

[Grumps]

About thirty years ago I bought a trumpet off the wall at Ted's in Baltimore for twenty-five bucks and taught myself how to use it. I was between gigs at the time, but figured I wasn't doing my saxophone playing any good by focusing on another instrument and I abandoned the project after less than a year. Still have the trumpet though.

flute.

I love flute in jazz and Latin. In all other places I have lived, sax players doubled on it...but oddly not here is SW...and it is reputedly the most common (Bb) sax double, and for sure the fingerings are familiar....but for the life of me I cannot get a consistent tone/sound out of it....cannot keep a steady embouchure...
