Harp and Saxophone

Anyone know anything about playing sax? I want to learn this summer, thinking about taking lessons. Anything I should know about it? Is it very difficult to play? What type is best to learn on? Alto?

Harp is such a fun instrument!!! It looks really hard, but the strings are color coded which helps a lot.

They should do that with guitar strings. Color code each fret with a note color. That would be funny. A little too easy in my opinion for a guitar, but great for a harp. They just have way too many strings.

Ah yes as Kurt Cobain said "What are they tuning, a harp?"

I think a hammer dulcimer would be fun, since it's more like playing drums, than playing a guitar. I'd also like to learn the typical drumset, as I'm only playing a djembe, right now.

To me, the violen doesn't look too awful hard, but I suppose it could be one of those things that people make look soooo easy, but isan't. I'm gonna give it a shot one of these days and see what happens.
