It’s Complicated

Back in my early school days I played the trumpet (badly). Trumpets only have three valves to worry about fingering correctly when forming notes. So I was always amazed how saxophone, clarinet, and flute players could master all the buttons and levers of their instruments. In reality though, learning fingering configurations is the easy part of learning to play such an instrument well.
