Just a small story:

My high school band director was a great tuba / euphonium player, but he
played pretty much anything! For one of our boys' basketball games, we
were short on clarinets, so he pulled a school horn out and played the
game on that! And the scary thing was, he had pretty darn good tone AND
played all the notes on the page!!

It's possible to play brass and woodwind from what I can tell. We also
have a flute player in our WW choir here at NMSU whose main instrument in
trumpet. Maybe it just works for certain people... who knows?

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to
see it, do the other trees make fun of it?

If an elephant falls, which suffers more: the elephant or the ground?
