Alto Sax. It's as close as you can get to tenor sax.

I think the clarinet might be the easiest, not too sure 'cause I'm an orchestra geek. tongue.gif I wouldn't pick the trumpet though, 'cause it's so loud it's impossible to practice at home.

I love the sax. It's awesome. happy.gif Too bad those are band instruments because if it were strings then I would have said cello right away. But I like alto sax.

I'm a music major... and from a music sense, the alto sax would be the easiest to pick up because you already know the tenor sax and its similar. Once you get the fingering down, you'll be aight biggrin.gif

If you're looking for something different, then try the flute _smile.gif

Hope that helped

If you're looking for something easy, then do stay away from the flute. >_> It is rather difficult.

Hm.
I'd say Alto Saxophone.. because they're VERY similar to tenor saxophones.. just a tad bit higher.
There's a plus side to Altos.
Altos get more cooler parts! :D

yup, flute takes a sh!tload of air to play, but the clarinet and alto sax r the easiest to paly since all u do is push down and vibrate the reed and u get ur pitch
