I was just wondering whether people prefer to play in sharps or flats.
I hate playing if there is more than 2 sharps in a piece of music but i can easily play a piece that has about 5 flats. |

Flats, F# is a horrible note on the bassoon... and C# is even worse...

Flats definitely, don't know why but I can just cope far better with lots of flats than lots of sharps :unsure:.

I prefer sharps.
In my G4, the sight reading piece had 3 or 4 flats (can't remember now) and I was really cheeky and asked if I could have one with 4 sharps instead :lol: He politely said no ! Fiona |

You're absolutley right AP.
I think I just deal with sharps better because they're to the right and my brain can cope with that. It's going left my brain can't cope with as easy. Probably just me ! Fiona |

Sharps are easier, though my C# sounds terrible. It's always to high! :rolleyes:

Flats for me... the shapes fit my hands (or brain) better somehow.

I don't really mind sharps or flats, but if I had to choose, I would go for sharps.

I definitely prefer sharps. On the violin, playing in a sharp key is so much easier.

Definitely sharps for me, it just feels more natural (no pun intended)

Flats on piano seem easier on piano, no matter how many, but on clarinet/sax, sharps are so much easier to cope with!
