Okay, so I started learning trumpet, (as a second istrument, I already play percussion.) but I find it very difficult to play the high notes and easy to play the low notes. My teacher is just one of my friends and has basically abandoned me. On the other hand my brother plays tuba and could teach me.
Discuss:
Should I switch to tuba?
Pros and Cons of each instrument.

Hmm, whether you go with trumpet or tuba is really a matter of preference. As a trombonist I'm biased, so play tuba.

I'm a trombonist so you'd think I would say tuba, but I also play trumpet. Then gain, I want to learn tuba. So I guess just ignore me because I have no opinion.

Well I learned trumpet as a second instrument too! And I had the same thing going on with the high/low notes. I am still kind of that way after a year has passed. Which one do you think you will like more. I go between Trumpet and Clarinet myself..
I wanted to learn tuba at one point but I'm too weak to even pick the darn thing up. LOL.

Delhome /Tr/mp/et/ Baritone = the King of Brass!!!! What he said. razz Anyway, I'm also a Percussionist, and I've buzzed into a Trumpet before. I had the same problem you do with the high notes, and the low notes were no problem, and after some consideration, I chose Baritone and found I a great embrochure for it. I think I would suggest Baritone or Trombone, unless your options are restricted to Trumpet or Tuba. In that case, it depends on your lungs and your embrochure (the way you tighten/loosen your lips to buzz into the mouthpiece). What is the highest note you can hit on a trumpet? And do you know how to pedal?
