need brass band geek advice
MadassAlex:
I'm not sure what either of you mean by that.
Piano is a great way to learn music theory, but since music theory is universal, any chordal instrument should work fine.
Spluff:
As above, you will learn the same thing with any instrument, pretty much.
Personally, I'd learn guitar. It's cooler.

Elaborate'd.
That said, the most major difference between a guitar and a piano is how differently you'll perceive patterns. Although learning guitar gives you a hand in working out other stringed instruments.

Maybe the mellophone would be a good suggestion? it has the tone of a french horn but with the feel of a trumpet (minus being larger and heavier). i started learning it recently after a couple years of the cornet/trumpet and it's been a moderately simple switch, so I doubt there's much difference between the two.
