Each instrument has something to say to you. It's got its own character. Each horn has its own character and will say to you certain things. If you violate that, it's almost a sacrilege!

I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.
My main horn is a hybrid of a flugelhorn a coronet and a trumpet, but that's really because, for me, each instrument to me had a different voice, and I liked them all, but I didn't like any one of them singularly.
If you've only got one horn playing, I still want the sense of ensemble.
In the hierarchy of instruments, if you're a harpist, you're considered someone with a brain much more than if you're a singer.
When you're playing music, say for instance, you're playing a part of the band and you're looking at your music, your horn is down into the stand. This way, it's up and it goes right on out to the audience, you know?
I am producing sounds that people are not used to hearing from the harp.
In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God.
So it's really hard for a horn player to comp. But I'm totally into trying to switch those paradigms around and find a little magic space where that works, and try to mine that.
Think of a musical as a string of pearls. If you don't have a string, you can't put the pearls around your neck.
If you're a musician, there's no instrument that can be withheld from you. If you're drawn to it, develop the talent for it.
