I hope he sent you a C/Am, instead of a crazy Bb one.

Easy to play (I've tried a couple of horns from friends in the school band, I can't even make a sound on a trombone! Reed intruments are icky, too) for an instrument with your mouth. I quite enjoy the sound of 'em, and it's not like they're rare or expensive.

|  | <-- That guy looks like me, but old. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Arlington TX | | | My old keyboard player got a harmonica and one of those around-the-neck-wire-frame-things that I can't remember the name of so that he could have something to do in traffic. He got pretty good at it.
Later he decided to take up other instruments while stuck in traffic. That's where he learned Recorder(We used it on one of our songs, two at a time, like on Stairway) and Chanter. We were trying to think where the bagpipes would be useful, but nothing ever presented itself.
