A Curious Query:

Are there musical instruments that visual artists, be they also inclined to play music, are more likely to play?
Obviously, piano and guitar are popular instruments across the board for anyone to play, so I am tempted to throw those out of the mix.
I wonder this because in my life I have found several french horn playing visual artists, though many left french horn behind in the pursuit of the visual arts. My good friend Betsy is both an incredible artist and a french horn player. I also play french horn and pursue excellence in the visual arts. I ran across three art-related people at Biola, also, who either play or played french horn in their past. Is there any correlation? Is french horn a more creative, moving instrument that somehow bridges the gap between visual and auditory creativity?
