After a long illness, I decided to try to seriously play horn. In short: 1. Take a few private lessons. this is a different animal.2. Buy the best horn you can. I went through a lot of sh*tty horns before I bought a new 8D. I would have saved money by going to the finish line.
This experiment is suspended for now, as I find I can't play trombone and french horn at the same time,(I could play tuba though). I got good enough, but it requires a lot of practice. The embouchure doesn't hold a week without work.
Oh, and the people who play horn are REALLY different from tuba players.
