We have not a poll in awhile
Last year, I dumped my soprano sax after feeling I'll never get a good tone out of it and my intonation was just plain whacked. Soooo, I concentrated my efforts on the clarinet and I feel I'm getting better results. After just a few months, I get better tone and pitch control with my clarinet than I ever did with the soprano sax I owned for three years. The clarinet embouchure feels much more natural to me. Of course the fingering is a bigger obstacle. Yesterday, I was trying to play the soprano line from Holst's "Suite No2 in F" and it was kicking my butt bigtime when playing it at tempo. My fingers felt like spaghetti.
Most of you guys here are much more experienced players than I. Which instrument challenges you more.
