Hello all,
I am looking to pick up a new instrument, something compact either an alto sax or a trumpet (I am a guitarist at the moment but have parted company with it for a few months since Im at uni and you don't exactly stick out in the crowd being a guitarist)
Im considering the trumpet or the sax, mainly I want to try the trumpet but I learnt the clarinet when I was younger so I know I will be able to at least make a sound on the sax. Plus I have very little money and cheaper(/cheap) trumpets seem cheaper than cheap sax's.
So, what do you all think I should learn, my heart says trumpet but my brain says saxophone. Also what type of budget instrument should I buy? (and i mean with a REALLY low budget)

trumpet would be the easyest for you to lern considering you already lerned the clarenet. heres why: there in the same key b flat. they play the same notes all you would have the do is lern about playing on a brass mouth piece and lerning the fingerings. i play trombone and i taught myself to play trumpet in two days it is very easy to lern. you may find out in a couple of months of playing that you have "jesus lips" and can play really high (it's a natural abillity )and you could be a big star. if you decide to play sax listen to all diferent typs (alto tenner or barrie) and find one you like the best. but i would higly sugjest you play trumpet. by the way you can go to a music stroe and find a used trumpet a hole lot easyer and cheaper than a sax.
here is some help if you chose trumpet
