Re: Most difficult double

I have gotten into arguments before on this, but, being as fearless as I am, those who are primarily woodwind players should NOT play brass instruments, and those who are primarily brass players should NOT play woodwinds. IMHO, reeds (and especially double reeds) must affect the embouchures of brass players in some negative way, and the buzzing of the upper lip does nothing for woodwinds, especially the flute family. I can think of nothing more damaging to a delicate flute embouchure than what a brass instrument requires. There are reasons why you never see the pros in the studios of LA and the theaters of NY play instruments from both families. If any do, I would love to hear the story.

That said, there are folks who are successful to a certain degree playing both brass and woodwinds. But I don't believe you can play to the highest level on both.
