Answers: Clarinet & tenor saxophone
Trumpet,Cornet,Flugelhorn and Trombone
Saxophone is great, if you have the lung power for it.
Piano, man! Guitar & drums. Personal.
violin (YES - listen to regina carter)
trumpet
If you don't have the passion to play a particular instrument, I doubt that you'll last long on it.
Listen to music and find the instrument that you want to play.
If you're looking for the most interesting and melodized instruments, Alto sax and trumpet are the ways to go. If your looking for lots of small solos, piano and drums. If you wanna keep it simple, then bass. If you want harmony and smooth sailing the whole time, bari and tenor sax and trumbone
Trumpet is definitely gaining popularity but any woodwind instrument is good.
