Woodwind Instruments

Eighth notes are twice as fast as quarter notes, just as 1/8 is half of 1/4. So, you can fit two eighth notes in the place of a quarter note. Just try playing quarter notes, then play twice as fast, fitting two notes in the place of 1 quarter note.

hi the parts of the piccolo are quite simple actually they have the head which is the part that you blow into and you have middle part with notes on it and it is quite easy to put together so yer good luck with the rest of the the information

The Northumbrian bagpipes are bellows driven and the Irish Uilleann pipes are also bellows drive as are the reinvented Scottish Lowland pipes (based on the Northumbrian pipe design but with the highland chanter). The "Scottish" bagpipes by which I presume you mean the Great Highland Bagpipes are powered via the mouth (the lungs). The Irish War pipes in modern terms is identical to the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe after attempts such as the Brian Boru version with different drones has fallen out of favour. In addition to the method of inflating the bag they differ in the drones, the keys and notes as well as whether they produce a continuous sound (GHB) or a more staccato sound (Northumbrian), the Uilleann can do both:- GHB - Open Chanter - Only 9 notes plus blowpipe and two tenor and one bass drones - continuous tune. Northumbrian - Closed Chanter 2 full octaves, 4 drones, metal keys from 7-17 Uilleann - Open chanter (can be blocked manually) 2 full octaves, 3 drones - Bass, Baritone, Tenor and 3 regulators with keys - Bass, Baritone, Tenor. Can be played as a "half set" without the regulators.

The clarinet ranges in price depending on what type of instrument you are looking at.

Student instruments start from around £200 / $400

Advanced Student Instruments are about £1000 / $2000

Professional Instruments start at around £2000 / $4000

There is not really an upper price limit other than "as much as you are prepared to spend"

It depends on its condition, but there are a lot of Series 9s popping up on the Internet. That, combined with it being thought of as a 'jazz' clarinet as opposed to a 'classical' clarinet has been dropping their value. I've seen Bb sopranos (the 'regular' kind of clarinet) advertised for around $500. I've seen them advertised for $1500.

The saxophone comes from the two American inventors: Cheech (Richard Marin) and Chong (Tommy Chong). They accidentally built it after attempting to build a high-tech bong, then when they first tested it they realized that it made music. That is why they originally named it the "Musical Bong." Then when they needed extra income to buy more Marijuana, they sold it to Belgium. Later on Belgium named in the Saxophone, and took all the credit for its presence.

The saxophone makes a mix-between woodwind and brass sound. The saxophone has a unique sound though and it varies between which type of saxophone or even the player.

The saxophone generally makes a smooth-bold sound, but it may be hard to understand this in words. Bold in this case would be rich, filled, similar to a bold coffee. Certain people like bold coffees and certain people like a little weaker coffee, or an airier saxophone sound.

It is potentially a 1928 model. I found this page on the serial numbers related to the year of the clarinet. The link is located in the related links section below.

No. I play flute in a band that has an oboe, too, and they are two completely different instruments. You hold the flute sideways and blow into a lip hole and with the oboe you hold it down and blow on a double reed.

Orchestras are usually tuned to an oboe. The open note, (that is, the note an oboe plays without any fingering), is an A, and the orchestra tunes best to that note. When a piano is featured as solo instrument, the orchestra tunes to the A of the piano, because it's easier for them to adjust their pitch than for the piano.

Being the rock bottom is a name for being the very lowest.

Oboes only come in one size but the English horn is slightly larger and very similar to the oboe. The bassoon is also a double reed instrument and it is very large compared to the oboe.

Well I bought my clarinet when i was living in the states and it cost me about 800 dollars... which is a pretty fair price seeing as everyone else i know, who has a clarinet, bought it for over 1,000 dollars.

You play bassoon with your fingers, all of them, except for your right hand's ring finger. You blow into the bassoon through the reed, and you move your fingers to make the note change.

To make different notes that are not slurred (like above), you pulse your tongue back and forth against the reed.

Also, be sure to take long and deep breaths so that you can make a very full sound.

You play with all of your fingers including your right hand ring finger.

The two related links point to youtube videos provided by Reeds'n Stuff, showing a master class in reed making. The videos are in German (with English Translations of the tool names) which can be a little frustrating, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, these two videos are worth a whole lot more!

If you freeze the first video after the seven reed stages appear, they are, from left to right, the cleaned cane (arundo Donax is the common reed cane), split cane piece, a piece cut to length, the piece after the bottom is planed flat, after the sides are tapered and the bottom sanded, pre-shaped, and after the final shaping.

Watching the videos shows how these steps are achieved, and the amazing test of the reed after the final shaping: unlike double reeds, once the last shaping step is complete, the reed is finished!

The speed of the air being blown through it makes the vibrations. But the player uses their tongue to control the vibrations and help to define the different tones when playing!!

Hope this helped !! ;)

Artie Shaw played a Conn clarinet. His clarinet is now in the Smithsonian storage facility. Unfortunately, Conn is no longer an independent entity. It was acquired by Selmer, another company most commonly associated with Benny Goodman.

That completely depends! talking about an alto saxophone (as this is the most common, especially amongst beginners) the prices can Cary from £200 right up into the thousands. It is possible to but saxes for less than this by buying second hand which can be great value, but as a beginner who may not know what they are looking for if you decide on this option then I would recommend getting whatever you intend to buy checked out by a professional in order to ensure you are not left with huge repair costs. Another downside is that once you play you will realise just how much spit gets into the saxophone and you may be thoroughly put off! All I can say is you get what you pay for- the more expensive the sax the higher quality it will be so it will be easier to play and sound better in the long run.

The piccolo is generally used as a color instrument in a large ensemble, so it's not typically an instrument you start playing in order to get famous. That being said, there were a number of notable piccolo players in the bands of the 19th century (see link below), and some very fine piccolo concerti have been written in the past 20 years.

the piccalo is a very high instrument that is like a flute or oboe

No CNET in Bb Tuba is in BBb or also known as C
