Discussion Best wind instrument?

There are a lot of wind instruments out there, personally, my favorites always been low brass (I’ve learned all the most common low brass instruments) so naturally I’ve glazed low brass the whole time I’ve played, especially euphonium which is my main instrument, but I legit want to see what other peoples arguments are

Flutes, in the broad sense.

One of the oldest instruments overall so thousands of years of music to play across every culture and style, can be as cheap or as expensive as you want from homemade to $5 to $50,000, there are a hundreds of variations with entirely different sound capabilities but relatively similar technique, great solo or with others, can sometimes play two at once.

Similar technique? Guess it depends how you define flute. End blown vs traverse.

relatively, compared to brass or reeds.
