Well I play both Trumpet and Saxophone. I started out on trumpet and grasping the embochure is not really all that hard but it may be difficult for a sax player to change octaves on trumpet. I'd say that changing octaves on trumpet is the hardest part. You would also need a good lung capacity. Here are some things I recommend getting before you begin playing:

1.)valve oil(this could be lamp oil in a small empty drop bottle with 1-3 drops of machine oil mixed in) [this is also cheaper]

2.)slide grease(Vaseline will do fine)

3.)possible mouthpeice & snake brush

4.)possible polishing cloth

the last two are optional
