Wait a minute!
Last week you said you were a famous Kentucky Colonel.
He told me that he was known as "W"!

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---------

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".
"Why, I have 7, or wait, maybe it's 8! 8 orchestras to play in... I'll have to have my staff get back to you!"
