a Flute does not have a reed so it's neither a single or double reed instrument.
clarinet is a single reed instrument and the oboe is a double reed, that is really the only difference
The flute is generally classified as a woodwind, although it is distinct in that it is the only major woodwind that does not have a reed. Other woodwinds include the oboe (double reed), clarinet (single reed) and saxophone (single reed).
I think you are referring to the Bb clarinet which is single but there are acually 3 different types of clarinets. Bb=single Oboe=double Alto=single
You did not include the list to chose from
Flutes and Piccolos don't use reeds. Also for E.C., an oboe doesn't use a reed either. :)
the flute has a deeper tone than the guitar
The flute is longer than a oboe and an oboe has a double reed and a flute does not have a reed. The flute has a cylindrical bore while the oboe has a conical bore. The fingerings are definitely comparable, but not the same. The oboe has a range from Bb below the treble clef to Ab twice above the treble clef, while the flute has a huge range from C below the treble clef to D twice above the treble clef.
oboes are double reeded instruments whereas clarinets use single reeds
no, the reeded insterments are clarinets, saxaphones, bass clarinets, oboes, bassoons, etc. the flute doesn't have a reed, the sound is projected by blowing over the lip plate and creating the sound. the key's are to change the notes. :]
nope but depends on what type of flute he/she is playing
2 and a half is only half 2 reed is a hole
