Just skip the the 2nd paragraph if you don't feel like reading a bunch of crap


I just switched schools at my old school we were learning piano in music class but over here i need to learn a trupet or trumbone. Problem is ever since I was little i had problems with a hernia and have had like 2 surguries when I was two and a couple more later. I was playing on my sisters trumpet and when I begun to feel the pain I remebered I couldn't do that. I also have a diviated septum which makes it very hard for me to breath through my nose.. I dunnno if that will affect me.

I am hopeing I can play bass in my class instead. But if I can my amp is way too big to bring to school so I was wondering about how many watts do I need to be heard with a school band class nothing big just like 2-3 trumpets snare baratone 2 saxes

I was thinking about a 10w would I be close to heard? I don't need to be loud just close to like hearing me a little.

You know, because schools have musical instruments + amps and stuff.

Welcome to the 00's. :p
