also, it depends if you want to take it pro eventually. and depending on what music you like. if you want to play, for example, fast, coltrane bop, well, then I would suggest the trumpet.
I had the pleasure of writing and hearing a peice of mine performed by Dave McMurdo (tbn), Mike Malone (tpt), Quinsin Nachoff[Q] (t. sax) , Pat Collins(D.B), and two other players(guit and Drums) that I can't remember. these are all pros.
It was a bop tune, goes at about 240 or so... Q and mike had no problem with some of the runs, but I saw Dave having some very akward slide positions, and having to go from about 7 to 1 in the space of an 8th at 240... let's just say that it wasn't his song. he doesn't like that stuff anyhow, he's more of a ballad guy.
but, in terms of range, the Tbn is your best bet. it can do lots of things... in terms of speed? in terms of dexterity? I think the trumpet wins.
