What is a woodwind musical instrument?
The term "woodwind" comes from the original make of all woodwind instruments. They all traditionally require the use of one or more vibrating wooden reeds to make their sound. While the flute is no longer a wooden instrument, it is still included amidst woodwinds as it has evolved from one. Other woodwinds are all still reed instruments; they require contact with a vibrating reed to make a sound. Examples of common woodwind instruments include the clarinet, the oboe, the bassoon, the flute, and the saxophone.
Why is the bassoon sound lower than the oboe?
This is a basic physics concept. The longer an instrument, the lower the frequency of the sound waves coming out of it, and therefore a lower pitch. The Oboe is a small, short instrument. The bassoon, on the other hand, is a large instrument. Because it is longer, you get a lower pitch. This principle applies for all instruments.
What is the difference between a bassoon and a bass clarinet?
There is a HUGE difference between an oboe and a bassoon. Bassoons are low woodwinds that are very large and have a reed that sticks out of the middle of the instrument. It sounds kind of muffled and normally plays a similar part in a song as the bass instruments (tuba, trombone, etc.) An oboe is similar in physical attributes to an English horn. An oboe has 2 reeds and plays a similar part in songs that a flute does, just a bit lower-pitched.
What does the length of an instrument have to do with sound?
Longer = lower
Largest instrument in oboe family?
The Baritone oboe is the largest in the oboe family. Though if you mean in the double reed family it's the contrabasson. An oboist couldn't play the contrabassoon, but he could play the baritone oboe. It's 1 octave lower than the oboe.
Lengthening the air column in a brass or woodwind instrument will cause the pitch to?
Lower. By increasing the length of the air column in the instrument, the wavelength of the sound produced is longer, resulting in a lower pitch.

How do you care for a bassoon?
The most important thing that you need to do to properly care for a bassoon is to swab it out after everytime you play on it, even if you play just for a split-second, you need to swab it. When you swab a bassoon, you are getting out the condensation that has accumulated in the instrument. What you are getting out with your swab is not spit. It is water. Not spit!! The water accumulates in the pipes of the instrument due to warm air being blown through the instrument. If the water stays there for too long, it will grow mold which would be extremely hard to get out. It's even more important to swab wooden bassoons (though plastic bassoons should be swabbed too) as the wood itself could grow mold. Also, never give your bassoon a bath. It could ruin it. The only time you should give a bassoon a bath is with a professional that is testing it for leaks. Otherwise, don't give your bassoon a bath. That's for brass instruments, not woodwinds. To make your bassoon seem more like yours, give it a name. I found that after I gave my bassoon a name that it played much better. If you can't come up with a name right away, don't worry. It took me two years before I came up with a good name for my bassoon. I named him Berkley, and my first bassoon I named Madeline...if that gives you any ideas. Also, I gave my bassoon a small stuffed animal that lives in the case with it so that it doesn't grow lonely. It's a little elephant named Helda. You are under no obligation to give your bassoon a stuffed animal, but I think it's fun. Most of all, the best thing you can do to care for your bassoon is to play it. Play it often, because the more you play it the better it will sound. That's why bassoons increase in value the longer they are around.

What does the bassoon instrument look like?
A Baritone Horn is like a large bellfront Trumpet. It has three valves and has the range of a French Horn. They normally used in corps. marching bands, but they can also be used in concert season. They are a little harder to control than a Euphonium, and they have the same edgy sound as a Trombone. They are very ideal instruments to play at football games.
How can you tell which instrument will sound higher and which will sound lower?
Low sounds have a longer wave length and so require a larger instrument to produce.The instruments in each class with the lowest range are the largest members of their class. Examples are the tuba, base viol, bassoon. Conversely, the smallest members have the highest range, such as the piccolo and violin. Pianos and organs have pipes and strings of many different sizes-- the large pipes and long strings make the low sounds.
