I imagine it's the amberture that's hard. I play clarinet. You blow
and it makes sound, it's pretty easy. (Double-reed instruments are
another matter.) Lots of keys are good too. They keep you from having
to move quickly between notes or do awkward slides, because there's
(usually) a key nearby for the next note. And a key or valve you just
press, unlike a trombone or violin where you have to find the right
spot. (String players usually can't, that's why they do a tremolo.)
