No, absolutely not. It's very, very hard to play in tune and with a good tone, and there are significant issues developing flexibility. If you're looking for easy, Saxophone is often regarded as being one of the easiest wind instruments to pick up-I can't judge about strings/percussion. However, don't pick an instrument based on how easy it is to play; listen to a lot of good players of all the instruments, and pick the one that you feel sounds the best, or that you would enjoy playing the most. If you have a professional music educator who would be able to help you select an instrument based on your physical nature (mouth shape, hand size, et cetera), then that should guide you as well. Just remember that long practice goes by quickly if you enjoy playing your instrument, at least in my (admittedly limited) experience. Don't let how much you would or would not have to practice dissuade you from playing the instrument you love.

∙ 13y agoHell no! I play the Clarinet as well as every other instrument you would find in a normal band. The bassoon and clarinet are the hardest two woodwind instruments to play. The easiest one in my opinion would be the alto sax. With and without the octave key, all the notes are the same fingering. It honestly took me two minutes to learn. Also, Flute is considered to be in the woodwind family and has almost the same fingerings as the sax. It is a little bit harder to play though.

If you can play the saxophone what other instrument can you play?
either the clarinet or the flute. The flute's fingering is very similar to the sax and the clarinets embouchure is the same as the sax. the upper register on a clarinet is the same as on the sax. In general any other woodwind instrument can be learned easily if you know how to play the sax. I am a clarinet player and for a jazz band I was able to switch very easily between that and the tenor sax. The fingerings are very similar.

What easyer the clarinet the flute or the cor anglais?
Each has its challenges, but players who play multiple woodwind instruments would probably consider the flute to be the easiest of the three to learn, followed by the clarinet. The cor anglais (english horn) is essentially an alto oboe - a double reed instrument - and is usually a second instrument for an oboist rather than a primary instrument. Double reed instruments like oboes, english horns and bassoons are considered to be quite difficult, so students interested in those instruments commonly start on another woodwind instrument, usually clarinet.
