Woodwind Instruments

it depends if the clarinet has had extra keys added to it as you can have lower notes added.

Dholaks tend to be made of few materials. These include wood, fiberglass, steel, plastic.

The bassoon's weight is a byproduct of the materials it is made from. A good average value would be around 3.5Kg (around 7.5 pounds.) However, a thin-walled french bassoon made of a light wood with a minimum of keys will weigh much less than this, while a German bassoon made of dense wood and decked out with keys to go from low BBb into the stratosphere (thank you, Mr. Stravinsky) will weigh more.

However, the weight of the bassoon itself is almost immaterial. The normal and preferred way of holding the bassoon while playing is to use a belt or similar long strip of material with a hook on the end, which fits into a hole or ring at the base of the bassoon. The player sits on the belt, adjusting the bassoon's position until the reed sits right at mouth-level. Then, the bassoon is nearly entirely supported by the belt, and the player's hands are free to finger the instrument.

None-the-less, the bassoon can also be suspended from a neck-strap, like saxophones, using a loop which is often supplied on the metal band at the top of the boot joint (the lowest part of the bassoon), from which it is very nearly balanced. This is often used when the player is standing or (if brave) marching with the instrument. Then, the left hand contributes a little to the support of the bassoon.

Quite often, the case for the bassoon, complete with a small glass to hold water (to soak the reed) and a gaggle of tools for making and adjusting reeds, weighs more than the whole bassoon!

Wood clarinets have a much more mature sound, and are easier to play. They are also more expensive to buy and care for, and take much more time and work to care for. Wood clarinets are more likely to crack under stress or quick temperature changes. Repairs for wood clarinets are also more expensive. Wood clarinets are easier to keep/have in tune because they are made with expert length, width, ect. Resin clarinets are better for use by begginer clarinetists who have been playing for one to three full years because they cost less and are more resistant to damage. However after three years, a clarinetist who wishes to continue learning to play the clarinet should switch to a wooden clarinet because it allows them to access the extreme range much easier as well as switching between register and non register using notes.

It depends what has actually happened to it. If the cane has fallen off the staple then I'm afraid you can't do anything but make a new one but if it just doesn't blow you can scrape it with a reed knife and widen it up and keep going til it works. If this still doesn't work, look for a local oboist in your area.

Normandy clarinet were available as wood models and as a Resotone (plastic) models. One particular wood Normandy model came with a wood body but with nd a plastic barrel and bell - sometimes even seen with a wood barrel and plastic bell.

Any Normany models are fine choices for beginners to intermediate, and the Resotone model is an excellent choice as a marching band instrument.

All classic or symphony orchestras use Oboes, which are double-reed woodwinds. the Woodwind family includes the Clarinet, Oboe, Flute(by tradition all are metallic) Silver, Gold, or these days stainless steel!) and the Bassoon. you see, saxophones are NOT used in symphony orchestras so arrangers have to juggle parts for these woodwind instruments.from the top down, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon-not Baboon.l somebody drew a cartoon of a Baboon playing one when I was in high school and the nickname Baboon caught on. Jazz and dance bands almost always use Saxophones for these transposing parts, the multitude of valves comes in handy., Much mor musicianship is required to play these sounds on an Oboe or Bassoon. The Band leader Mitch Miller (not related to Glenn) was originally an Oboist, by the way.

Some composers that have written famous oboe solos are Beethoven, Berlioz, Bizet, Dvorak, Bach, Handel, Telemann, and Rossini.

You can use a mouthpiece cleanser that you can buy on some music store!

Yes, anything not pitched in C is a transposing instrument.

In the Prokofiev original, the duck does not have a name, it's just called "the duck." In the Disney cartoon, the duck's name is Sonia. Sonia escapes the wolf in the Disney version; in the original, the duck does get eaten (but a line at the end explains that the duck was swallowed alive and can still be heard quacking in the wolf's stomach, which I guess is better than nothing).

Yes!!!!!!!! NEVER eat candy or drink pop while or right before you play! Never eat anything (for that matter) before or while you play!!! The inside of your instrument will get sticky and be totally messed up!!!!!! DON'T DO IT! You can also choke on the candy.

i don't know properly but about £14.00 but i play the tenor trombone so sorry if it was not what you needed but i tried my best.

It depends what standard you're at. If you can get a cheap ish trumpet for £300 then it's not likely to be £14.

Five pieces of music written for the clarinet include Time Pieces for Clarinet and Piano by Robert Muczynski, Clarinet Concerto in A by Mozart, 3 Clarinet Concerta but Cruseel, 3 Pieces for Clarinet Solo by Igor Stravinsky and Clarinet Concerto No., 1 by Carl Maria von Weber,.

finger an A with the left hand (the first two keys your fingers are on), and add the last of the three rectangular keys with the palm of your right hand, located near the hook. Fingering diagrams are extremely helpful in these situations.

a different guy,

WRONG! you use both of your pointer fingers.

C is the note after the note where you have a space in your fingers, and E is all of them down apart from the bottom one. (Keep the space at A and only the buttons. Not the different keys.) For a higher octave, hit the octave key by the thumb.

An oboe is very difficult to tune as the reed can only be moved in and out a little way making little difference. This is why an orchestra tunes to the oboe. Using a tuner or your ear if your musical you can pull out the reed to sharpen the pitch or in to flatten it.

I personally play a Yamaha clarinet, and have owned it for nearly 8 and a half years, and have had hardly any problems with it whatsoever. I also own a Yamaha saxophone which is second hand but still in very good condition.

I have also played a Jupiter clarinet, and they are quite nice to play. :)

Typically the flared end of a brass instrument (trumpet, coronet, trombone, sousaphone) is called the "bell".

An alto sax varies in prices depending where you are. It also depends on if you want a professional alto sax or a student alto sax. A professional alto sax usually costs about 2,000 to 3,000 dollars. A student alto sax will usually cost about 250 to 1,000 dollars. So make sure you really want your own instrument because it is quite an investment.

The unique souNd is caused by the reed and the material of which the clarinet is made. This is why a wooden clarinet sounds nicer and tends to resonate more than a plastic one and that is why all professional clarinetists use wooden not plastic clarinets.
