Does a clarinet need accessories?

- Well, the oboe came from the shawn, which was made in the 12th century.

Why is the oboe used to tune an orchestra?
The most common reason given is that the oboe is the most difficult to tune and always is tuned to because is piercing and loud. This reason is actually false. The reason the oboe tunes the orchestra is because when orchestras started to develop during Handel's time, the oboe was the most common instrument in the orchestra. It was easier to tune to the oboes since there was so many of them.

A dictionary is meant to be used to look up the meaning and spelling of a specific word. It would be too tedious to read from cover to cover, as one would read a novel.
How does a bassoon make noise?
First, the bassoonist blows into the reed. Then the air goes through the bocal, then goes straight down then curves back up(U-shaped) and exits out the top. While the air is going through the instrument, the many keys and holes alter and define what sound will come out.

Are there clarinets in the marching band?
Clarinets are a vital part of any woodwind section, and thus are in high school bands. Sometimes colleges will march clarinets, as well, but sometimes they only take brass and percussion. DCI never marches woodwinds, though, because it is a drum corps, and a drum corps, by definition, only has brass and precussion.
Can you play sheet music for a piano on a clarinet?
No, they do not. When a clarinet player plays a "C" it actually sounds a "B-flat". The two instruments can play together if the clarinet part is written a whole step higher than the piano part.
What is the name of the bassoon?
The bigger version is the contrabassoon, which plays one octave lower.
The timbre varies in the register played. The low register is rich and reedy, the middle register can have a more open, hollow sound, good for blending and harmonizing while the high register can be quite clear and piercing. All around a versatile instrument.
How do you make your armpits smell good?
Armpit hair starts to grow during puberty and is a natural development. The amount of armpit hair varies from person to person and males tend to have more armpit hair than females.
There are a couple of theories for why we have armpit hair. One is that it helps to reduce friction between the underarm and the body. Another theory is that it helps to keep the underrm area dry and prevents the colonization of odour producing bacteria.
Can I have a list of some of the weirdest woodwinds?
Soprano saxophone(It doesn't even look like a saxophone) Contra-bass flute(it sounds like a tuba and it is HUGE) Bass flute Bass oboe contra-bass clarinet(it is even lower than a contra-bass flute!) Eb clarinet(it's so tiny) These are some of the weirdest woodwinds.
What is the name of the woodwind instrument used in middle ages 600 AD and 1500 AD?
Various end blown flutes were used during this time. I don't know that recorders were used during the whole time, but they were definitely used for much of it. Flageolets were also used, as were other instruments of this type.
Side blown flutes might not have been used in Europe as early as 600, and I have seen articles indicating they were not. It is hard for me to believe, however, because they existed in prehistory elsewhere.
Panpipes were used throughout the time.
Pipes of the time included hornpipes, shawms, and crumhorns.
Bagpipes of various kinds were probably used during the entire period.
Some of the horns, such as the cornetto, were made of wood and had holes so they could be fingered like recorders. I mention this because they looked like woodwinds even though they were sounded by lip vibration.
What is the importance of the clarinet in a marching band?
Cymbals and other percussion generally used for effect purposes. Sure you don't need cymbals, just like you don't technically need flutes since in most bands, you can't hear them. However, the only crescendo - that means getting louder-you would have would be the band getting louder and that;s it. there would be no resolution to the tension, doing a crescendo creates, and bands would seem pretty dull.
In places like Drum Corps, Colleges, Indoor Percussion units and some of the better marching bands, cymbals is a thing of tradition. Theyy may only play three notes in one song, but the rest of the time, they're spinning and flipping their cymbals and doing crazy stuff. Go look up Santa Clara Vanguard cymbal line on YouTube. That should give you an idea.
Hope this helped!

How to soften a new saxophone reed?
Everybody has their own "best" way to care for reeds, but there are a couple things that everyone agrees on.
NEVER leave your reed on your mouthpiece. It will get unbelievably gross and not last very long. Always return your reed to a case (the case it came in or one of a million different kinds that you can buy).
Use several reeds in rotation, the more the better. If you play one reed at a time until it gives out, not only will it not last as long, but you won't have to panic if a reed breaks right before a concert.
Answer 2(?)I usually have only 1 reed per sax at a time, for the main reason that reeds go softer, denser, and moldy depending on how much you use them. Dont leave a reed on ur sax, after a week it wont be possible to play it because there isn't any moisture.I recommend using a reed guard or something like that, which is just a case, which doesnt let moisture escape.
If you ever break your reed b4 a concert or the like, just spend half a hour playing with it, or bend your reed, or if your really desperate, use some fine water resistant sanding paper.

When was the first clarinet made?
The first "clarinet" was created around the turn of the 18th century, in Germany by J. Denner (father or son not known for sure). But the clarinet developed from a Baroque instrument called the chalumeau, similar to the recorder but with a single reed mouthpiece similar to that of the modern clarinet and a cylindrical bore.
