Six years of French Horn. I played violin, drums, trumpet, and piano too. But the French Horn was and still is my first love. I fell in love with it in the 3d grade and wasn't allowed to play it until 7th grade (when it was free lessons/instrument to use).

I'm still sad because I sold my horn (for far less than it was worth) when I was doing my kitchen years ago and needed money to finish the kitchen. My H told me that I never played the thing and had to get rid of it. But I had pulled it out at least 2-3x a year and oiled it up, polished it, and played it. I loved that horn.

You're a talented guy, Frank. I never identified with the reed instruments for some reason. But I do love the sax. Last night's symphony concert included a piece that featured the oboe. That's such an odd instrument.

Played in marching band, concert band, and orchestra. Sat 1st chair 2nd horn. My band leader had far more confidence in my playing than did I.
