Re: other instruments

Almost all instruments require much less pressure to do properly than new players tend to use. If done 'properly', and after your other embouchures are established I do not think other new instruments intrude too much.

I play primarily oboe, but also ehorn, flute and wind controller these days... and used to play sax and clarinet and even trumpet.

Lightness is the key to every one of them. Too much heaviness on any and all others will suffer.

Still, mixing brass and woodwinds...? Why? Unless you plan to play sideman for Pat Metheny. ( Actually, I would like that gig myself.)
