Does the mellowphone use the same fingerings as a f horn?
Depends how you finger the f horn. Horn can use any fingerings that mellophone can, but not the other way around. This is because the overtone series of the horn is an octave below that of the mellophone. ~ Adding onto that, mellowphones use the same fingerings as trumpets. Generally, the fingerings are the same as the F horn fingerings an octave lower, but not always.
What is the difference between oboe reeds and English horn reeds?
An English horn is longer and has a lower, mellower sound. It has a bulbous bell, instead of a conical bell. Also, the English horn is in F instead of C. The English horn has a double reed like the oboe, but it does not go directly into the instrument. It has a small metal pipe that connects the instrument to the reed; called a bocal (like the bassoon). Also, the reed itself is shorter and wider. Unlike the oboe reed, there is no cork, just a brass tube called a staple. The fingerings are the same, but the keys are spaced apart more, so some people might not be able to reach them.
Is the fingering of the flute the same as a piccolo?
yes, but of course the piccolo is much smaller so your fingers are much closer together and you also have to make your lips tighter. Also, the notes on the piccolo are one octive higher than the notes on the flute, but yes, the fingerings are the same.
Why is the bassoon closely related to the oboe and cor anglais?
In the oboe family: Oboe d'Amore English Horn Basson The Clarinet also uses a reed, but it is single and not double. Oboes play in C, as do flutes, but they don't have much more in common.
What are the four double reed instruments in the band?
It depends on the band. I'm assuming the "Concert Band" which is usually the same as the symphony orchestra - two from the oboe family (the oboe and English horn) and two from the bassoon family (the bassoon and the contrabassoon).

Are trumpet fingerings the same as f horn fingerings?
Trumpet fingerings can be used on French Horn, but those are not the standard fingerings. They also cannot be used when the Thumb Key or Trigger (T) is used.

Is the cor anglais higher than the oboe?
The 'cor anglais' (aka English Horn) is the alto or tenor of the Oboe family. It is longer and larger, with a bocal (like the one a bassoon uses, but much shorter and with one angle instead of the bassoon's angle and semicircular loop) instead of a staple. (A bocal is a pipe which fits into the end of the instrument and has a removable reed which is placed on it. A staple, such as the oboe uses, is a metal tube to which the reeds are directly attached.)The cor anglais sounds one fifth lower than the oboe, "pitched in F". This means that the same fingering on the oboe that produces the pitch "C", will produce "F" on the english horn.The name of the oboe, which was developed in the 17th century French court, derives from haut bois, but the name of the english horn is stranger. The horn is neither english nor related in any way to the French Horn. There have been many theories over the years, but the currently accepted one is that the instrument looks like the instruments played by Angels in depictions of Heaven, and that the Germans therefore named it "Angelic horn", engellisches horn. (This trumps earlier theories that it was named for the characteristic angle in the bocal or the body, and that it was from England.)Generally, the Oboe has a larger range than the English Horn.
Is an English horn really a horn?
No, the English horn (in F) is the tenor oboe. The alto oboe is the oboe d'amore which is in A. Disagree: the English Horn is an ALTO-pitched instrument in 3-foot F. The oboe (in 2-foot C) is a SOPRANO instrument. The oboe d'amore is pitched between soprano and alto, so is called MEZZOSOPRANO in pitch. A 4-foot oboe is at TENOR pitch, but is usually misnamed the baritone or bass oboe. For guidance, simply check the saxophone family at the same (or very close) lengths and pitches. The 1 1/2 foot instrument is SOPRANINO, the 2-foot instrument is SOPRANO, the 3-foot ALTO, and the 4-foot TENOR. Then BARITONE for 6-foot pitch and BASS for 8-foot pitch. We can the add the 12-foot pitch and call it SUBBASS, then 16-foot pitch is CONTRABASS (there is no saxophone at the 16-foot pitch, but there is a 16-foot CONTRABASS tubax [look it up]). The sarrusophone family are also conical double reed woodwinds, made of brass with a wide bore. They are named exactly as are the saxophone family; logically, from SOPRANINO 1.5-foot to CONTRABASS 16-foot..
What do the oboe and bassoon have in common?
Some things that the bassoon and oboe have in common include: - They are very common. - They are both in the woodwind family - They both have the same fingerings - They both use a double reed.
If you play a trumpet which instrument should be easier to play for you?
French Horn they have some of the same fingerings and is extremely similar to the trumpet.
What is known as a english horn?
An english horn is a straight woodwind instrument similar to the oboe or clarinet. It is a little larger than an oboe, but both feature a conical bore - the long, tubelike opening down through the center widens bit by bit as it approaches the bell and the outside world. This gives both horns a more trumpet-like tone than the clarinet, which has a cylindrical bore. (The opening down through the center is the same size all the way down the instrument) Unlike the clarinet, both the oboe and English horn have double reeds to produce their sound. Clarinets have a single reed in a mouthpiece holder.
