Woodwind Instruments

No, bassoons are innatimate objects, so therefore cannot eat. You can, however, feed a banana to a BABOON, if that is what you're talking about, though baboons can eat many other foods, so it is not required.

The contrabassoon.

Please learn to use google. It's not hard bro.

In woodwind instruments like the saxophone, clarinet, bassoon etc. the sound is produced when the reed vibrates against the mouthpiece. Coupled with the shape, and material of the instrument it will produce a different timbre.

Brass instruments are slightly different. With brass instruments like a trumpet, euphonium, tuba - there is no reed. Instead, the mouthpiece is a single fixture and works kind of like this

**Note: I am a bassoonist, saxist, and pianist. I've never put my mouth on a brass mouthpiece so I'm sorry if it is vague.

Brass players don't just blow into the instrument like woodwinds do, but they instead have to "buzz" the mouthpiece. Basically what that means is that they blow through their tightly pressed lips to make the "buzz".

So the main reason why the sound is different in brass and woodwind instruments is because of the playing technique.

There are many. In classical music, there are varieties of woodwind quartets and quintets, which usually include one or more clarinets along with flute, oboe, and bassoon. Clarinet choirs consist of different varieties of clarinets, Bb soprano, Eb alto and Bb bass being the most common. Then there are bands and orchestras.

In jazz, clarinets can be wonderful with a rhythm section (some combination of piano, string bass, drums and guitar). Listen to Benny Goodman's small group recordings, and be amazed. Also search for Eddie Daniels. He has many wonderful recordings posted on line.

Big band sax players often double on clarinet, as well. Benny Goodman, again, as well as Artie Shaw featured clarinet. Glenn Miller used clarinet a lot, but not usually a feature.

Finally, if you are up to developing your own arrangements, clarinets cam be combined with almost any combination of instruments. Clarinet has huge range and blends well with other instruments.

Noteworthy is not a reputable name in the clarinet community. It will most likely lead to playing inefficiencies that will cause the player to adapt bad habits. These habits, once learned will be hard to shed.

The Selmer company has been making clarinet for the professional clarinet community for a long time now. Although the 1400 series is a student model, the company manufactures the professional models in the same factory as the student model. What that means is that the people that put that student clarinet together and more competent and the end result is better.

No matter which instrument you buy, please get it serviced by a clarinet tech before playing it. It makes a world of difference.

The oboe is a woodwind instrument that requires three pieces to assemble, and uses a reed, that can be purchased in different "strengths". I wouldn't consider this for anyone who hates or dislikes high pitched or screeching sounds..but if you become a good player, it alctually makes some pretty good music.

I am in a band, and I play oboe..(4 years)

The oboe has an effective range of two and half octaves from b-flat below middle C to F six ledger lines above the staff. This range places it between the flute and clarinet in "concert order". Along with the English horn and bassoon, the oboe is a member of the woodwind subfamily called "Double Reeds". Unlike single reeds (clarinets and saxes), these reeds are, in fact, two pieces of cane wrapped around a brass lined cork tube; creating an oval like opening where the sound is generated. The strengths mentioned by the previous poster, are actually thicknesses. The bottom is "soft" which is heavily scraped (whittled) and easily vibrated. The rest of the categories are medium soft, medium, medium hard, and hard ( scraped the least). As a veteran of 14 years, I can attest that the oboe is an amazing instrument to play. It has a large range of timbres and can reflect many emotions, musically speaking. Also, they are always in demand, and can be prime fodder for scholarships; which is how I went to college. Hang in there previous answerer, it will pay off in the end!

The word "clarinet" comes from the Italian word "clarinetto", derived from "clarino" which means "trumpet". This is because most early clarinets had a tome and timbre similar to trumpets.

it means woodwind the clarinet is very easy to play it helps your mind learn to focus

The bassoon is also a double reed instrument. The main woodwinds in an orchestra are the flute, clarinet, oboe, and the bassoon. The first two are of course not double reeds.

There is also the English Horn (cor anglais) that is a double reeded woodwind instrument, but isn't in all orchestral music.

Some people call the bass clarinet and contra alto clarinets "harmony". There seems to be no specific reason.

Yes

umm u play all low notes its e g a e g b flat a e g a g e

The bassoon is a more ancient instrument in that it, or its predecessors, have been around for hundreds of years. Considered to be its forerunner is the Dulcian. Early bassoons probably had no ability to provide dynamic contrast as different dulcians were used for different volume levels.

In about the year 1800, the bassoon, as we now know it, came into existence. The original had been quite cumbersome and awkward, but is now developed into a beautiful rich instrument. The original instrument (ducian, previous to the 1800s) had only 8 tone holes and could only play in one key. Modern bassoons have considerably more keys, but also can reach a greater variety of pitches and keys.

It is said that a man by the name of Martin Hotteterre paved a way toward the bassoon becoming the instrument that it is, in that he improved upon the design of the dulcian, creating four joints - as opposed to the original dulcian which was a single stick hollowed out and carved. This allowed for a few adjustments to be made in order that the instrument could be played at a variety of dynamic levels and pitches.

We do know that he had invented several kinds of instruments before the saxophone, so he probably modeled it off of those and developed it with the same kind of thinking.

Here are his inventions:

Flute (his kind)

Clarinet (his kind)

Saxtromba family

Clarinette-bourdon

Saxophone
