I heard that it is easier (pick it up faster) to
begin playing the saxaphone than it is to begin
playing the trumpet. Is there any truth to this?

I agree with josie. Learn sax, it`s easier then playing sax will help you with trumpet.

Ok, trumpet may look decievingly easy with it`s three wussy valves, but it is actually really hard. i would suggest sax....though sax is a million times easier if you know brass.

You should learn the trumpet because it is a challenge. BUT if U want to learn to play an EASY instrument then go with sax.

well, if you want to be a jazz sax player, i`d recommend starting with a clarinet. once you learn that, switch to sax; friend of mine said it made it was easier for him

The sax is definately easier to play, it`s by far in my opinion the easiest to learn of all wind instruments. I mean, clarinet and sax are similar in play, but i suck on the clarinet and squeak all the time. The sax, i haven`t played in 4 years, and i picked it back up with out too much trouble. The sax can never be lost.
The trumpet, well it`s harder, buzzing is hard and hurts my lips. and my friend says that his range on trumpet is equal to his range of his whistling abilities.

but saxophones are the best
