| Well, I played French Horn one semester... I came back second semester on trumpet and won 4th place overall in a local competition so it didnt affect me too much. French Horn is awkward because the pitches are all very very close, it's weird but doable. Also, I was playing trumpet in pep band and taking private trumpet lessons while playing horn, so that helped.
Now I also have a friend who switched to horn to avoid playing turmpet with braces. He played for a long time (2 years) and now he's trying to come back to trumpet. His tone is bad, he has no range, and it's really not that great. This guy was first chair all state before he switched, now he can barely pop an A.
Be careful, if you play don't play for too long, and make sure you continue playing trumpet while playing horn.
