Woodwind Instruments

You get the music and practice, then play and look if turns out well!

no, if it's a student clarinet in B flat then it is the same as a regular clarinet in B flat. only difference is that the student model will be of lesser quality and maybe somewhat "easier" to play

on youtube look up dynamite with notes. thrn under the subcription it will show all the notes

The name oboe is from the French word "hautbois", meaning "high-wood" or "loud-wood". Invented in the Middle Ages, it was played by huntsmen and shepherds, until it was finally admitted into orchestras in France in 1657. In the 1700's, the sound was still abrasive and the instrument extremely difficult to play. Many improvements were made between then and the oboe of today. The oboe has been very popular in orchestras for the last 300 years, and has been written into most orchestral music.

The oboe is the soprano of the double-reed woodwinds. The sound is produced the same way as the flute, which is by forcing a column of air to vibrate (though it certainly doesn't sound like a flute!). If you happen to be an oboist or a bassoon player, you would spend a lot of your time making reeds. Most oboists make their own reeds, using actual reeds from the wall of a cane stalk. Talk about low tech! Actually, it's a tricky piece of work to get the reed to the exact degree of slenderness. The best oboists say it takes years to learn to make them properly. Symphony oboists have several on hand during a concert, changing when needed during the concert. Players of other instruments in the orchestra have teasingly said that playing an oboe would drive the player insane. Oboists denied this; instead they say that it's insane to choose to play the oboe!

The orchestral oboe looks similar to a clarinet, with a slightly shorter tube. It is approx. 23" long. While it is excellent at making lively, happy music, it is usually used for parts that are melancholy, mysterious and sad. Within the orchestra, it produces the sound most similar to a human voice.

The English horn (also called cor anglais) is very similar to an oboe. It is neither English, nor a horn! The end of an oboe flares out, whereas an English horn has a small bulb. Its double reed attaches to a curved mouthpiece (instead of directly to the instrument, like an oboe). Its size is larger than an oboe, as well as 1-1/2 times the length of an oboe. It does have the exact same fingering, so an oboist can double as an English horn player when needed. The English horn has an alto voice, with a richer, deeper tone.

I cant make the right tempo on here so ill just give you the notes

It all depends on the instrument.

Saxophonist

Bassoonist.

How old is a leblanc clarinet 1669F

Well the bassoon has many names just like any instrument, and like many low-playing instruments, the bassoon in English has the word "bass" used in the name, but "bassoon" isn't the instruments first name. The first names of the bassoon were, Fag0tt, Fag0tt0, or Fag0t, depending on which language or region the printed music was made in.

they are a group of instruments that play with reads

The woodwind instruments include flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon. They add color and dimension to the string sound which is the core of the orchestra.

I played the oboe in the high school band and the instrument is a concert pitched instrument, the same as the C flute. You do not need to transpose the music to play oboe and piano together. Simply read the melody line of the piano, for the oboe part.

Panpipes are a musical instrument that are tricky to play but are very fun and interresting!

Definately not. The clarinet is part of the woodwind family, which is characterised by a reed on the mouth piece, disregarding the flute, which vibrates when blown across to produce tuned sound. Percussion instruments are typically struck with either the hand or with the appropriate stick to produce sound, and most are untuned. A drum is an example of a percussion instrument: it is played by striking the skin with a drum stick or with the hand. A clarinet is not.

Looks like 1977. Go to this site and see http://www.uark.edu/ua/nc/ClarinetCollections/BuffetClarinetsSerialNumber.htm

NOTE: The Buffet on-line serial number database only contains serial numbers for French-made PROFESSIONAL clarinets. If your Buffet is marked "Made in Germany" this database will NOT work for you and any data it provides will NOT be about your clarinet!

There are bass, soprano, and alto.

But there are more than Three sizes! There is the Eb soprano, Bb soprano (most commonly seen), Alto clarinet, Bass clarinet, Contra-alto clarinet, and contra-bass clarinet. There is also an A clarinet!

Actually not really. With my experiences with them the quality is very inconsistent from horn to horn. Sure there are a few that may work wonders but that chance is slim. I do have to say that they are better than most stencil horns though.

When you play piano, it's a step higher than clarinet because clarinet is not a concert pitched instrument, so you have to take what note is on the piano and lower it one.

Example: You're playing a G on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an A on clarinet because it's a step higher.

Example 2: You're playing an E on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an F# on the clarinet.

Check by ear just in case!

The saxophone was named for its 1840s inventor Adolphe Sax.

'Saxophone' means voice of Sax. The voice of the man who created the saxophone.

Though often made of brass, the instrument is actually part of the woodwind family - this because the tone is produced using a cane reed.

wood or plastic resin? this makes a difference not only in the wuality of sound but the weight ratios of the instrument. a plastic clarinet will typically weigh less than a wooden clarinet - BUFFET R13s are the best

The notes to thetempest are concert Bb and mostly high a. At the beginning of the song you slur it not tongue it.

there are several types of a notes.

the most common a is the key right above the note you put your left index finger on. (idk what its called!) no holes are covered.

low a is played by covering all the holes except the bottom one. no keys are pressed.

high a is played by covering the first 3 holes on the front and the one on the back. add the register key. if you have a hard time playing this note, play a C then add the register key. it helped me when i learned it!

hope this info helps!

An English horn is longer and has a lower, mellower sound. It has a bulbous bell, instead of a conical bell. Also, the English horn is in F instead of C. The English horn has a double reed like the oboe, but it does not go directly into the instrument. It has a small metal pipe that connects the instrument to the reed; called a bocal (like the bassoon). Also, the reed itself is shorter and wider. Unlike the oboe reed, there is no cork, just a brass tube called a staple. The fingerings are the same, but the keys are spaced apart more, so some people might not be able to reach them.

Yamaha flutes are well made and have a price tag that matches. They can be purchased new from Yamaha dealers and average about $1200-1600 per instrument.

The woodwind family

Single-reed woodwind. I wouldn't really say it has a specific range (alto, tenor, etc.) because of its massive range.

The parts of the saxophone include: The Body, The Neck, and The Mouthpiece.

A reed is attached to the saxophone mouthpiece using a ligature.

A major accessory is the neck strap. While it isn't always necessary, it allows much easier playing for a saxophonist.

It is made of brass

They are typically made of brass ever since they were first created. Even though they are made of brass they are still considered woodwinds because of the reed. However, other materials have been used to construct saxophones. In the 1950's the Grafton Saxophone was made which was an alto saxophone made out of plastic. They only ever made alto saxophones. Yanagisawa and Bauhaus Walstein made saxophones out of phosphor bronze because it changed the tone of the notes. Later, Yanagisawa made necks, bells and then entire bodies out of sterling silver. Keilwerth and P. Mauriat have made saxophones out of nickel silver, the same material used to make a flute.
