Is an organ a reed instrument?
No, it's not :) Reed instuments are instruments that you use a piece of wood (a 'reed') on the mouthpiece. You don't put an organ on your mouth, so therfore it isn't a reed instrument. Examples of a reed instrument are; saxophones, clarinet and bass clarinet.
What is a wind instrument like a recorder?
there is a which is thumb on the hole on the back and pointy finger on the first hole b which is the exact same as a but you put your middle finger on the one below the first hole and g which you would probably guess by now is on more ginger on the next hole.there are tons more but these are the simplest
Is the Alto Clarinet smaller than the Bb Bass Clarinet?
Yes, the alto is smaller. They both have crooks in the neck just below the mouth piece somewhat like a sax. The Bb is heavy and quite a bit longer than an alto and rests on the ground between your feet during concert performances with the help of a stem stand. The alto is played along side the right leg.Since bass instruments are generally bigger than the original instruments, I would say yes. The bass clarinet is tall and big, and sort of shaped like a saxophone. The alto clarinet is the same thing, but smaller. And the regular Bb soprano clarinet is straight and usually plastic. They all use reeds (bigger the instrument, bigger the reed). There is plenty of information.
Can you use a sax reed for a clarinet?
Well yes and no. When you finger a note on alto and tenor the notes in the relative key (Bb for tenor and Eb for alto) are fingered the same way. So a C on an alto and a C on a tenor are fingered the same way, but sound different. On tenor it's a concert Bb, when on alto it's a concert Eb. But for fingering purposes and just generally learning the instrument, yes.
Can you wash a saxophone mouth piece in a dishwasher?
You can't wash your mouth piece in the dishwasher. Extra info: When you wash you mouth piece you use cold water, soap and a tooth brush. Don't wash the ligature
Is the alto sax similar to the clarinet?
There are many similarities. The mouthpiece and reed are similar, as is the embouchure (how you use the small muscles around the mouth), although the clarinet embouchure requires more strength. In the middle octave, from fourth line D to B above the staff, the primary fingerings are the same. There are differences, too. In addition to the obvious different shape and weight of the instruments, the sax overblows at the octave, meaning the middle octave has the same fingerings for each note as in the low octave (except for the addition of the octave key), while the clarinet overblows at the twelfth, meaning the fingering for the low octave is different. For example, the fingering for middle C with the addition of the register key sounds a G in the middle register of the clarinet. The more complicated fingering and the additional embouchure strength required to play clarinet makes it harder for a sax player to learn the clarinet than it is for a clarinet player to learn sax. Many teachers encourage young players who are interested in saxophone to start on clarinet. The young clarinet player doesn't have to deal with the weight of the sax, and learns skills that transfer easily.
How do you play a cool song on the clarinet?
You get cool sheet music and use your fingers to hold down the keys and your mouth to blow through the mouth piece and then play the song written on the sheet music.

What was a saxophone named after?
Adolphe Sax, a Belgian man that invented the saxophone as a louder version of the clarinet for use in military marching bands.
How do you play on the clarinet?
Put the Clarinet together (I am assuming you know how). Put the mouth piece in your mouth with the reed facing you. Tighten your bottom lip and rest it against the reed whilst griping the top of the mouth piece with your teeth/lips. Blow to make the reed vibrate. ~Silvernin~ Well, knowing the clarinet can play several octaves, there are many ways you can play A. the easiest is to use the A key right above the hole used to play E. You can also play the lower octave by having all of your fingers down up to C, plus two more fingers. sameer

On the reed of a clarinet what do you do with the piece of wood?

What is the main difference between woodwind and brasswind musical instruments?
While both brass and woodwind instruments are played by blowing air into the mouthpiece, there are fundamental differences. Woodwinds, such as the clarinet and saxophone, use wooden reeds fitted to the mouth piece and it's the vibrations of this reed that create the sound. Brasswinds do not have a reed and the sound is created by the vibrations of the lips on the mouth piece.
How do you clean the tenor sax?
After playing the sax, pull a swab thorough the body. This removes the moisture. If the sax is really old and nasty, take it to a music repair man for a chemical dip. THEY REMOVE ALL KEYS, and clean the body inside and out. Never play the sax unless you brush your teeth first and only drink water, no soda, coffee or alcohol. When finished playing the sax, remove the reed and dry it, pull a cotton handkerchief through the mouthpiece to dry it out and use a clarinet swab to pull through the sax neck.
