The flute is somewhat unique in that it is a woodwind without a reed.

Flutes are classified as woodwinds; other woodwinds include the clarinet, saxophone, oboe and bassoon.


What is flute 1 and flute 2?

In a band or woodwind ensemble, flute 1 and flute 2 are simply parts you play. Typically flute one will have more parts, or higher notes. Flute 2 will have less parts, or lower notes. THey have these so there's some harmony in the piece you are playing.


What is the odd one out the oboe the trumpet the clarinet or the flute?

Actually the oboe belongs to the woodwind family of instruments. I'm not sure what the question refers to specifically. The trumpet is a brass instrument and the clarinet is a woodwind, so in that sense the trumpet could be considered the "odd one". However, these three instruments can sound absolutely wonderful together in a small wind ensemble. They can also be complimented nicely by piano accompaniment. So please don't count the trumpet out just because it's a brass instrument and the other two are woodwinds. the oboe because it is a string instrument and the rest are not
