Having only played cornet, I would have to say solo cornet. There is always something challenging on most solo cornet parts and the part is always interesting. However, I think to listen to (as I haven't played them), euph and flugel would have to be the best instruments- for both the parts and the sound.

 

[WoodenFlugel]

Flugel. Just because it's "my" instrument and I'm hoplessly biased.

 

[drummerboy]

I voted percussion (have played most others at some point though!)
Percussion though...
versatile
loads of instruments to play
and above all...


LOUD!!!!!

when required of course!

 

[Naomi McFadyen]

Percussion, naturally!
Not being biased (*cough*)... but without it there really is no band :? :lol:

;-)

 

[Euph-Bari]

Have to say Euph, love the sound
followed closley by sop though!!

 

[groovy]

Bass Trombone!!! Theres the loudness, the pedals, the "bass trombone head".... u gotta love it.

 

[Liz Courts]

Well I would have to say cornet of course! But I love the sounds of the flugal and euphonium too

 

[super_sop]

i love sop, followed closely by flugel, then cornet

 

[drummerboy]

Bass Trombone!!! Theres the loudness, the pedals, the "bass trombone head".... u gotta love it.

Love the pedals (play bass trom myself sometimes...), and I don't see any point playing bass trom quietly...
But the bass trombone head? Am I missing something? :?

 

[Naomi McFadyen]

awww yea, love pedals on bass trom and basses...
but, still cant beat the bang of percussion! (boom boooom!) :lol:


really bad pun eh!!!! :lol:

 

[Dave Euph]

Euphonium ... I think if I liked another instrument as much I'd be play it! :lol:

 

[drummergurl]

percussion (im not biased, honest!!! she lies)

 

[groovy]

Bass Trombone!!! Theres the loudness, the pedals, the "bass trombone head".... u gotta love it.

Love the pedals (play bass trom myself sometimes...), and I don't see any point playing bass trom quietly...
But the bass trombone head? Am I missing something? :?

Ah, yes, bass trombone head. An ailment commonly suffered by younger bass trombonists (maybe older too, I dunno!) It can sometimes be contracted by tubaists too. After a period of playing, especially if pedals are involved, the player suffers great amounts of dizziness and lightheadedness which could possibly involve eventually passing out though I have never seen this happen. :shock:

 

[Big Twigge]

Flugelator without a doubt..... :wink:

 

[VenusTromster]

I think that someone is bored, eh Carolyn!!! :wink:

Haven't you got loads of composition and arranging to do? :?

Oh, and by the way, my fav instrument is the trombone, cos with the way we sit in uni band, I get to blow down a certain flugal players ear! :lol:

 

[AJSOP]

well obviously soprano! :wink:

 

[MRSH]

I'm a percussionist - hey sorry (and a conductor!!!!)

I voted Bass Trombone 'cos I think this instrument in the right hands is just the best. It's very under-rated and very under-used. Respect to all you Bass Trombone players out there.

My second choice (if you're interested) is the soprano cornet. I just love the sound of a good sop player sitting just above the front row (or some times quite a way above).

One extreme to the other I know but these two intruments are just quality in the right hands.

 

[Dawnys_flug]

Has to be Flugel!!
There is no contest!
Well actually, trombone kicks ass too!!

 

[flugelgal]

Flugel of course!

DOH!
