So I was lisening to some oboe concertie and thought it would be really cool to play the oboe, but then I remembered that playing another wind instrument screws up your embouchure. Then It got me thinking about the other wind instruments that I could play without it screwing up my embouchure. Does anyone know of any instruments?

It's perfectly possible to play oboe as well as horn. I know someone who does to a professional level (and alphorn) also another who doubles on clarinet. My bassoon teacher was also a brass player. I think it's down to the individual - it suits some but not others.

Go for it!!

I just got a slide job done on a cheap trombone because I've always liked it and hope it doesn't mess with my embouchure like trumpet does. I've played tuba before without really any issue, but don't have the change to buy a tuba, but a 10 buck (plus 70 for a slide job) 'bone is just fine with me. I've played with a guy who switches between clarinet and horn in the same concert with no issues. Have fun
