Clarinet

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

The main woodwind instruments are (high to low):

Piccolo, Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Contra-Bassoon.

There are others however, such as all the saxophones and the recorder.

The Taggart theme was undoubtedly a complete ripoff of Baker Street.

Although the original Taggart theme (the one I'm familiar with) didn't have any sax. I just listened to the theme on Youtube to confirm it.

No, it does not.

I would advise you to take the instrument to a reputable dealer. The value of your instrument will depend on its condition. Some of these factors involved will include: wood or plastic, how worn the silver, pads and corks are, are there any air leaks. The dealer would also help you assess the age of the instrument if it is unknown.

If the song is in the key of C for the banjo, then the clarinet would have to be in the key of D, which is a whole step higher. If in D for banjo, then E for clarinet. Don't forget to use flats and sharps if needed, like if the key is E for banjo, then it's F# (which is also Gb) for clarinet.

Straight pipe- from its straignt, vertical shape, as opposed to the curved bell type more associated with the saxophone instruments. also Goofus which was a slang term that was also applied to ( A small calliope mounted on a truck or trailer- used at carnivals) possibly the idea it was a novelty or (Goof) instrument. Some Jazz musicians made a big thing with the Goofus, however and the name did come into slang usage as a synonym for the Soprano saxophone.

It depends how many people you have to play the saxophone. There are usually only parts for 2 altos, 1 tenor, and 1 baritone. If you have a lot of saxophonists you can get away with having up to about 7 altos, 3 tenors, and 2 bari's. It really all depends how many you want.

If you're talking about a jazz band. There is usually a lead woodwind (sax 1), alto saxophone 2, tenor 1 and 2, and only one baritone. Again, it depends how many saxophones you have. Just not too many bari's!

It is very complicated so it is better to look it up in internet or join smartmusic to find it out.

Try taking Paper towel rolls and spray painting them black, and use pipe cleaners for all the metal pieces.
