I'm pretty sure max was just joking lol. It is not very difficult to play trumpet, but it is very difficult to play the trumpet well, as is any other instrument. I think we have to look into this alot deeper than just trumpet. Baritone is in the key of C, and so is there music. Alto's are in the key of Eb, and so is there music. (Sorry if I got that wrong, I'm pretty sure there in Eb lol) I think they write in the key that the intrument is in just for the sake of complicity.
