Did somebody say french horn? Ack. That is easily the most frustrating instrument I have ever seen. Ick. I loved the sound out of it but my interfinger co-ordination is hideous, and my parents didn't find out about it until well after they stopped making me take lessons. It's kind of ironic that I have enough co-ordination to drum but not enough to play the horn. I had a little better luck with a silvery french-horn thingy with valves like a trumpet . . . but not much. I think it might have been a flugelhorn. (SP?) --the non-french horn playing drum
