The flute player has no easier time of getting along with the rest of the orchestra than anyone else, but that won't stop them from sleeping with everyone. Man and woman alike, makes no difference. The bass flute is not even worth mentioning. Piccolos, on the other hand, belong mainly on the fifty yard line of a football field where the unfortunate audience can maintain a safe distance. The clarinet is, without a doubt, the easiest of all orchestral instruments to play.
Clarinets are cheap, and the reeds are literally a dime a dozen.
Clarinetists have lots of time and money for the finest wines, oriental rugs, and exotic sports car. They mostly have no education, interest, or talent in music, but fortunately for them they don't need much. Don't ask a clarinetist for a loan, as they are stingy and mean. Some of the more talented clarinets can learn to play the saxophone. It's not an easy instrument to play.
