What is a woodwind instrument?

A woodwind instrument is an instrument in which you need to blow air into whatever sort of mouthpeice needed for that instrument. For example, in order to play a flute, you must blow into the head of the flute and a noise comes out thanks to the air viberating threw the instrument.

Other woodwinds include the piccolo,clarinets, saxophones, oboes, ect...

Why was the octocontra-alto and octocontrabass clarinet never built other than the prototypes?

There are actually 3 octocontralto clarinets, but only one octocontrabass.

The instruments were so low that they were difficult to hear. In order to hear the octocontrabass you had to use an amp. Makes sense since it can reach the B flat below the piano. Unfortunately, this clarinet is in Mr. Leblanc's personal collection.

Even though there are a few pieces written for the octocontrabass and octocontralto, they used a ton of materials. Probably more because it was more efficient to not make them than it was to make them that they were never made popular.

Also, as I said there is a few pieces of music that are written for a octocontrabass, but no piece really needs to go to a low B flat below a piano. The contrabass and contralto (and needless to say, the piano) can go as low as is usually written.

What is the origin of the oboe?

oboes originated from late 13th century shawms

How much is a NOBLE clarinet from Paris France?

Noblet is a branch off of the Clarinet brand, Le Blanc. Le Blanc has great clarinets and played wonderfully. Noblet is and could be very old. These instruments, despite their age, play beautifully. They were discontinued a while ago. Now they are a bit of a trick to find. Some of these age all the way back into the 1800s. I would say they cost a deal of money, but not extremely expensive.

Where are all the notes on the clarinet?

Notes on a clarinet are located on the throat, Bb, A, a#/Gb the others are just simply one after the other. Your concert f major will always be a g natural which is simply no hands down unless you're shadowing to jump the break.

Its not too difficult of an instrument, I believe it to be technically more difficult than the trumpet (not mouthwise)

All in all one finger follows after another. After the open note g, set down your left thumb on the open hole to play an F, an index down to play E, two fingers down to play D, and three fingers down to play C. Those should get you started and those are the basic notes you learn. All of the sharps and flats USUALLY you learn after.

Hope that helped some!

Is it the clarinet of the oboe in the Arabian dance in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite?

The solo near the end of the movement is the oboe, but it does end with a lovely clarinet/tambourine duet.

Would need to know WHICH solo you reference: at letter "D" - near the end - there's a plaintive, mournful solo for English horn. The piece does end with interplay between the clarinet in its chalumaux register and tambourine, but I think the answer above - referencing the oboe - is actually incorrect: that is an English horn near the end of the movement, as per Tchaikovsky's original score of the entire ballet. (And I should know - I'm currently conducting the piece for at least the 10th time in concert!)
