It depends.

How much do you hate your neighbours?

OK, buy a trumpet and only play it when the nice neighbours have gone out.

@vln1812,
Have you tried the mouthpiece for any of them? they're quite different - you might find one more comfortable/natural-feeling than the others.

@vln1812,
Oh by all means the clarinet. They're easy to carry, have a nice reed that you can chew on and you can play along with the Benny Goodman records.

I'd go with the clarinet too, more opportunity to play. Mind you, if you really hate the neighbours...

@vln1812,
Just think; if you put your clarinet case on the dashboard of your car you'll be able to park in handicapped spaces

@vln1812,
It's just a music joke(clarinet).
I've been playing music professionally for 35 years. I've collected a lot of musician jokes.
You wanna hear one about me? (pianist)

Why was the piano invented?
So the musician would have a place to put his beer.

I hope there are no hurt feelings.
