Both have their trouble areas. With Trombone, it's all about developing muscle memory to find the correct slide positions. With horn, what gets tricky is close partials in the overtone series, where the same fingering can be used for many notes, or one note can be played several different ways.

The four major brass instruments?
Trumpet,French Horn ,Trumbone andTuba
What brass instrument has valves and its tubing in circular coils?
This is the "French horn" (a name more familiar and popular than the plain, official "horn").
Which is the second largest brass instrument in an orchestra?
That depends on how you define it. The bass trombone will usually be playing the second lowest part, and just looking at it from a distance, you might think it is the second largest, but actually the French Horn has more tubing, and is therefore longer if it were stretched out straight, than the trombone. Because the French Horn's tubing is curled up much more closely than the trombones, though, it doesn't appear to be as big.
What are the low brass instruments?
The most common low brass instruments are: 1. Trombone (bass trombone is lower than tenor trombone) 2. Euphonium & baritone horn 3. Tuba
What are the brass instruments highest to lowest tone?
lowes-highest tuba, french horn, trombone, trumpet. I have to say I am trully honered to be represented on this website to help people who are really lost with their music, we will always be here to help you :) ------ Actually, you're apparently one of those lost people, because the trombone is lower than the horn. I'm not entirely sure which is higher, trumpet or horn, but I think they're about the same. I know on the trumpet how high you can go depends on your skill, and I'm pretty sure it's the same for the horn. So I think it would be: tuba, trombone, horn/trumpet. I think that depending on e skill of the player, either the trumpet or the horn could be highest brass instrument. Also, this list doesn't include all brass instruments, like baritone (same pitches as a trombone, but it uses valves, not a slide) and soprano trumpet (higher han a trumpeter horn, but it's a type of trumpet, so...) and flugelhorn or cornet (around the same pitch as a trumpet.) also, a bugle is like a trumpet. And that's not all the brass instruments. I'm sure there re more, I just can't think of them at the moment.

If you play trombone and you started playing trumpet would it be easier or harder to play higher notes?
IT will be harder because when you play trombone your lips arent as firm on the trumpet, and you need to tighten even more for a higher note than the trombone! So, harder.

What is the highest pitched instrument in a brass family?
There are many brass instruments smaller than a tuba, because the tuba is the largest of the brass instruments. The instruments smaller than it in order from largest to smallest are: Baritone Horn, Euphonium, Trombone, Trumpet, Cornet, Piccolo Trumpet.
What is the difference between trombone and tuba?
well... a trombone uses a slide to make different notes and a tuba has valves to press down to make notes. a trombone sits on your shoulder while you play it. a tuba sits on your leg or on a chair. a trombone weighs a lot less than a tuba trust me i play both of these instruments in band class=]
Does German get harder than french?
To learn to speak it, German is harder, yes.
Which of these instruments has the highest range cello French horn flute timpani?
A flute's range is higher than that of a cello, French horn, or tympani.
Is the trombone the hardest instrument to play?
It's hard to figure out how to approach this question, but here goes: Brass instruments change from note to note by combining two different techniques--making the length of the tube longer (making the pitch lower) and by overblowing the tube to make the air vibrate at a higher spot on the harmonic series (making the pitch higher). The other brass instruments lengthen the tube using valves; when you push a valve down, the air is diverted through an extra piece of tubing. The trombone lengthens the tube by means of the slide. It's the only orchestral or band instrument that does this, and I think it's safe to say that it is harder to learn the exact spot of each position on the trombone slide than it is to learn which buttons to push on the other instruments. But the other part--overblowing the tube to produce higher notes--is arguably harder on the French horn, because the horn's usual playing range is higher up on the harmonic series than that of the other brass, and the higher you go the closer the different harmonics get together. That makes it harder to pick out the right one, considerably more so than on the trombone or the other brass. Now which part is harder? I'd have to say that I've heard more beginning students struggle with the French horn than with the trombone. The oboe and bassoon also seem to be harder to learn, or even to get a decent sound from. And the strings have the same challenge as the trombone--they have to develop muscle memory to know exactly where to put their fingers down on the strings for the different notes. I think I've heard more out-of-tune beginning violinists than out-of-tune beginning trombonists, or maybe they were worse out of tune. There's probably something to be said for the relative difficulty of fine motor skills (hitting the right note on a violin string) and gross motor skills (moving a trombone slide to the right position). All that said, at a more advanced level the trombone presents some issues that the other wind instruments don't. Since the trombone often has to move the slide to change notes, it can be challenging to make a clean transition from one note to another without smearing, especially at a fast tempo. The other instruments just push different buttons. And above all, though some instruments are harder to learn at the beginning, any instrument is challenging to play really WELL!
Do French people play the French horn?
While the French horn is named after France, it is actually not widely associated with French musicians. The instrument is used in orchestras around the world, and its name may be more related to the design of the horn rather than its popularity in France.
