I've been playing French horn for 5 and a half years, trombone for half a year, and just started tuba. Who else plays brass, what instrument(s) and how long?

i played tuba for about ten years during school. never bought one, though, so quit when done in school.

btw, french horn is my favorite instrument sound.

Which is one of the reasons I love it! Aside from the fact that it's just plain fun to play, and has been as long as I've been playing it.

Hi! I've been playing trombone for 10 years now. I play tuba and euphonium as well. I play trumpet for fun, but it doesn't really do any favors for my trombone chops haha. I tried horn for probably 3 months; it didnt work out for me. I love hearing it though! What kinds of music do you like to play?
