At least the baritone (euph) is easy until you encounter Karl Kings "Melody Shop"!

Isn't the tuba really the easiest? Especially since all you have to play is the "oom", of "oom-pah".

I guess they're all easy, "once you know how", and from there it's your aptitude and determination against your peers'. Some instruments are more versatile than others, like the tuba appears in quite a few different styles of music, and as much as I like the baritone and alto horn, they're a little weak there. If I had a relative who played tuba, maybe I'd learn accordion or something.

I'll second that--imagine a house full of tuba players? One is quite enough. But, I don't know about accordian---------

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

Deep Purple

Have you ever watched Conan O'Brien on the nights where he shows hilariously photoshopped pictures of "if this actor married that actress" ?

Your avatar looks like "if John McCain married Tubby the Tuba".
