BariEuph Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 While I haven't marched them all, I've played them all except for contra and picc trumpet, and I must say that f horn was the most difficult - lotsa different intervals, plus it's a different key.

Blaringbrass Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 I would say f-horn, pretty darn hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBcontra Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 i say french horn and contra French horn has the small mouth peice and Contra is heavy and you need alot of air same could be said about Euph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAzzMelloGrl Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Depends if you're talking single or double horn?? I started on single, and was forced to double in high school, its a little strange actually using your thumb for a key, but once you're used to it, its pretty easy. I had an easier time learning FH than mello and trumpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to try it once.  Although it's pretty safe to say that my F. Horn skills have left me... *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsBari02 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I have seen a triple horn. Interesting creatures. I know marching french horn is hard but nothing is harder than contra. Having to haul your butt around at 200 bpm, AND putting a ton of air through the horn. That sure aint easy! I know as a baritone player, it's hard enough. I could imagine what it would be like to do that and play contra. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeBaritone Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 This is so easy why poll... The hardest instrument to play MUST be the Contra. There are always a plethera of other people (esp. sops) but a corps can never find enough talented Contra players. I truly believe if the talent and availability were there, Div I corps would consistantly march 12 contras (or possibly more) instead of 10 (or sometimes 9, like SCV last year, and several other corps).
