sigh. you band people don't know what you're missing. you can't hope to compete with the violin. :lol:
If we're only comparing brass and wind instruments, then I personally like oboes better.

But I agree, violins win over everything else.

Piano is the best. Piano owns all other instruments, including violin and oboe.

Here, you can hear my rankings of those four instruments, assuming that the people playing the instruments are actually good:

1. French Horn (of course)
2. Piano
3. Violin
4. Oboe

We didn't exactly have the best oboe player in our school. As for the French Horn, listen to it sometimes. It always gets overshadowed by those pesky trumpets and never gets any respect. But it is the coolest instrument. Ever. Period. End of debate. I win. You lose. :D
