Does a recorder have a low pitch?
the recorder has a high pitch
Why is a recorder woodwind?
Yes the recorder is a musical instrument. Historically it is made out of wood. There are plastic versions as well. In either wood or plastic there are good models and there are terrible models. The name "recorder" is also used for any apparatus that is used to record a record of sound, activity, energy, etc... and some of these are the tape recorder, the voice recorder, or even earth quake movement recorder. (Answer provided by Daniel Hay, composer/performer.)
How is the pitch altered on a recorder?
To alter the pitch on a recorder to accord with other instruments, carefully adjust the first joint (the one nearest the fipple). Pulling it apart will lower the pitch. The cheapest recorders are moulded in one piece from the top to just one note above the lowest; if you have one of these you can't tune it.
What type of instrument is an ocarina?
An ocarina is a potato-shaped instrument; blowing into the hole in one end produces a warm whistle sound a lot like the recorder or the old tonettes. There are holes drilled in the hollow body which, when covered by the fingers, change the pitch. One can learn to play melodies.
How does the clarinet sound produce?
the reed vibrates and the sound goes out through the bell at the end of the clarinet. the pitch changes when different holes are covered or pressed down by your fingers.

How is pitch changed on the flute?
Holes on the flute are covered and uncovered to change the way air passes through the instrument.

What is the relation between pitch and frequency?
the lower the frequency the lower the pitch; higher pitch lower frequency
How do you play d7 on recorder?
Assuming you mean the soprano recorder, D7 has two meanings; the sounding pitch D7 and the written pitch D7. As the soprano recorder is a transposing instrument, transposing a full octave up, written pitch D7 is actually sounding D8. Both notes are possible, although sounding D8 is much harder to produce well on the recorder. For sounding D7, the fingering is t 1-3|4-67 Or, half cover the thumb-hole, and fully cover the first, third, fourth and sixth finger-holes. To make the note more in tune but a little bit less playable, you can cover half of the 7th hole. For sounding D8, the fingering is t 1-3|-5-- Or, half cover the thumb-hole, and fully cover the first, third, and fifth finger-holes. This note requires a great deal of air support in order to sound properly and is hardly practical on the soprano recorder.
What does a recorder look like?
A recorder is a flute-style instrument that forms a component of the woodwind section of a classical orchestra. In the United Kingdom, it is common for school children to be offered the opportunity to play the classical recorder as it offers an entry level instrument. Air is blown over the mouthpiece part (the fripple), which generates a whistle noise. The pitch of the whistle is then adjusted by opening and closing holes along the length of the body. So the appearance of the recorder is a hollow tube shape, with a number of holes along the body, and a mouthpiece at one end. The other end is closed off. There are other features along the tube shaped body, to facilitate grip, position, and to improve sound quality and appearance.
What makes the sound of a clarinet?
Sound is produced by blowing through the horn, causing an attached reed to vibrate. By convering or uncovering the holes/keys the pitch is changed from higher to lower.
What is the pitch and size of the soprano recorder?
The soprano recorder is pitched in C. Its lowest note is C5, the C above middle C on the piano. It is about a foot from the top of the mouthpiece to the bottom.
How does a recorder make noise?
A recorder is a musical instrument that produces sound through the vibration of air. Here's how it works: Windway and Mouthpiece: The recorder has a narrow tube with a specific shape known as the windway. At the top of the recorder, there's a mouthpiece where the player blows air. Air Vibration: When you blow air into the mouthpiece, the air is directed through the windway. The shape and design of the windway cause the air to split and rejoin, creating an area of low pressure. Edge Tone Production: As the air flows over the edge of a sharp edge within the windway (called the labium), it causes the air to vibrate and create sound. This vibration is the initial sound source. Resonance: The vibrating air inside the recorder's body interacts with the volume and shape of the instrument, generating specific resonant frequencies. The body of the recorder acts like a resonating chamber, amplifying and shaping the sound. Finger Holes: By covering or uncovering the finger holes on the recorder, the player changes the effective length of the air column within the instrument. This alters the pitch of the produced sound. By controlling the airflow, the position of the fingers on the holes, and the amount of air pressure applied, the player can produce different pitches and create music on the recorder.
