I've heard that the oboe and the French horn are one of the most difficult (Yay! Ima F. horn! x3 )

Oboe. I tried to play it once. I stuck with it for maybe... half a year. It was seriously so hard. I could only play like, 4 notes.

Yes...the OBOE is the hardest thing to get a good sound out of...hear it from me...cuz I'm an oboist myself....but I can...play good tone....most of the time....

Anything with a reed.

Okay, I over exagerate; for me, though, clarinet is super freakin hard.
o.o
Dunno why.
For some reason I can get decent sounds out of most instruments, just not clarinets.
xDDDD

But, from most people I talk to, they say flute.

I don't understand their logic as to why, though.

I'd have to say the french horn. The only instrument I've ever played was/is the clarinet (which I'm pretty good at), but anyone I've known that played/plays the french horn seems to suck at it.

Yeah, that's the only part I don't like about F horns but that's mostly because I suck at anything below a low b flat. I end up playing with tenor saxes most of the time.

The instruments with 3 keys and you get different notes by changing your embouchure like french horn, trumpet, and tuba seem hard to do.

i would think it would have to percussion because of all the movements and hittings they have to do

double reeds are really hard, but brass is hard to make sound good. You need to adjust your mouth rather than depend on keys to do the work.

I'm going to say French Horn is the hardest.I've been playing it since 7th grade and I'm a junior and I still have trouble with it at times.The only thing that makes it so hard to play though is the fact that the partials are so close together.The partials on the French Horn are the closest out of all wind instruments.

for flute it is not the fingering that's hard...it's the head joint. That meh logic

For me it's trombone. cos I normally play a valve instrument (Euphonium) but I picked up trombone too and the stupid slide doesn't want to stay in the right places. >.>
