Which woodwind instrument is supported by a seet strap which is hooked to the end of a instrument and then placed over the players chair?

The bassoon.


What is the least loudest woodwind instrument?

A saxophone could be played the loudest. However in an orchestra the instruments are balanced in dynamics (volume at which music is played) by proportional numbers and skilled players. The least loudest woodwind instrument would be the flute.


What family of instruments is the clarinet part of?

The clarinet belongs to the woodwind family. Clarinets were originally made of wood, and still are, though most are plastic nowadays. It also requires the players breath, or "wind", to make a sound. Combine these two and you get a wooden wind instrument, or woodwind.


What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?

One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.


What woodwind instruments are doubled or extension instruments?

Doubling refers to an instrumentalist who has to play more than one instrument in a performance. For flautists, it is most commonly piccolo. Clarinet players sometimes need to play other clarinets (Eb and Bass most frequently). It is pretty much expected that jazz saxophone players also be able to play flute and clarinet parts if they need to.

What easyer the clarinet the flute or the cor anglais?

Each has its challenges, but players who play multiple woodwind instruments would probably consider the flute to be the easiest of the three to learn, followed by the clarinet. The cor anglais (english horn) is essentially an alto oboe - a double reed instrument - and is usually a second instrument for an oboist rather than a primary instrument. Double reed instruments like oboes, english horns and bassoons are considered to be quite difficult, so students interested in those instruments commonly start on another woodwind instrument, usually clarinet.

How sound is produced on a brass instrument and how is different from woodwind?

In woodwind instruments like the saxophone, clarinet, bassoon etc. the sound is produced when the reed vibrates against the mouthpiece. Coupled with the shape, and material of the instrument it will produce a different timbre. Brass instruments are slightly different. With brass instruments like a trumpet, euphonium, tuba - there is no reed. Instead, the mouthpiece is a single fixture and works kind of like this **Note: I am a bassoonist, saxist, and pianist. I've never put my mouth on a brass mouthpiece so I'm sorry if it is vague. Brass players don't just blow into the instrument like woodwinds do, but they instead have to "buzz" the mouthpiece. Basically what that means is that they blow through their tightly pressed lips to make the "buzz". So the main reason why the sound is different in brass and woodwind instruments is because of the playing technique.
