You've got a great selection of woodwinds, with those three! If you want to complete the woodwind family, you could try the flute. It really depends on what you want to do with all your instruments. If you intend playing in an orchestra, you should probably stick to woodwind. If it is only for your amusement, perhaps now is the time to branch out and try Classical Guitar, Cello or Cornet. These are good instruments for beginners, and with your musical knowledge, you should progress in leaps and bounds.

I myself have a working knowledge of guitar and mandolin, while I'm good at tin whistle, recorder and clarinet. I sing too.

Nick,
I'm primarily a flutist, but I'd say try the oboe. It's more consistent with what you already play, i.e., reeds. I think bands and orchestras need more oboists, and it's a very nice instrument.

Ok i may be Biest seeing as i play oboe and all but conssidering what you play i think htat the oboe would be the easyest for you, you have the double reed thing down and then you have the fingurings for most of the notes from playing the sax.

Oboe or flute because of your experience on other woodwinds.

I would also say go oboe and/or flute. Cause when you learn oboe, and you decide you like it. I would highly highly highly reccommend taking up English horn. You will get scholarships like crazy if you play English horn. Plus the fact that it is one of the most beautiful instruments I have heard when played with proper expression and good tone quality.

Hi.
I think that you should try playing the flute or oboe. They are great instruments and really enjoyable to play.
