On the standard oboe that we know today, there are open keys on the first four keys. On advanced models of the oboe there is an open hole for the sixth key.

The first key has a half- hole that allows the musician a way to play several different notes. For a 'd' the play would uncover this half hole to produce a clearer and more in tuned pitch. This half hole also allows octave jumps to the second octave sound better.

The other keys have holes to create different pitches. When the player covers the holes in the systematic descending order it will create pitches that create a scale. When the first key hole is covered it will create the pitch b. When the second is covered it will create the pitch a, third g the fourth a f- sharp. The fifth doesn't have a hole but creates e. The sixth creates a d.

It is a Glissando so you almost slide your fingers off to create an almost whiney like tone as you reach the top. But, It takes Practice start slow getting the 17tuplets and rise. The add the glissando.

Flutes, i play flute and i dont need a reed

The clarinet is a single reed instrument.

Most clarinets are tuned in B-flat and are transposing instruments, playing a tone lower than written.

It depends which Saxophone: soprano is in Bb, alto - Eb, tenor - Bb, baritone - Eb. they just sort of take it in turns with Bb and Eb!! (Also sopranino - Eb, soprillo - Bb and bass - Bb)

It was a Leblanc ... I used to play it when i toured with Woody's band when there were clarinet parts. Not sure what model, but it played great.

It would be a late 1990's model.

In the related link below, there is a chart here about 1/4 down, under the Buffet brand title.

Write a letter to evyeorne and anyone you know. Just let them know you started at the dealership and if you can be of any help call. Once they know they will tell their friends if a conversation about new cars comes up. Next, be on the lot at all times, I have seen so many people waiting at their desk for someone to come to them, if you are on the lot you can approach people as soon as they start looking. Take some of your business cards and post them around on area bullitien boards, usually the grocery stores, corner stores, pizza places etc. have them. If you have a little extra money for about $ 50.00 $ 100.00 per month you can advertise on the placemats in diner or local resturants as well as the local auto trader.Hope this helps.

No, the oboe d'amore is lower than the usual oboe, by a minor third. It is in A. It is between the oboe and the cor anglais (English Horn), which is in F.

Single reed (Saxophone, Clarinet) and double reed (Oboe, basson)

From left to right it's Flute, Oboe, French Horn, Bassoon, then clarinet

Most percussion and string instruments operate of vibrations to produce sound. Drum heads, xylophone bars, strings and reeds all vibrate on instruments that use them to produce sound.

Clarinets have a long tradition in jazz -- check out Benny Goodman. I would suggest that a few clarinet players who are interested in Jazz Band get together, learn a couple of pieces, and ask the band teacher to listen.

There are no saxophone parts in the modern orchestra. Though composers do add saxophone parts to specific pieces, saxophones are not generally included in orchestral music. This is because the saxophone is a very young instrument in a relative sense- it was invented in the 1840's, and composers were only taking the instrument seriously by the late 1800's. This is also coupled by the cancellation of saxophone instruction at the Paris Conservatory for several decades, which severely limited the availability of high quality teaching and instrumental developent.

They're not particularly rare but they may be too expensive for many stores to stock.

Nobody knows who first introduced the clarinet (which originated as the chalumeau), but the clarinet that is played today was introduced by Johann Christoph Denner.

maybe oboe

buffet- sound nicer :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I play noblet clarinet. My friend plays buffet. I suggest both because both of them have good quality sound. When I play noblet clarinet, playing the middle Bb and B(not the low) is very hard and the exact right tune won't come out. But the high and and low notes are awesome on noblet. On buffet the B and Bb are alot better then noblet. But the other notes aren't as good as noblet. I suggest noblet but buffet is great too!

Flutes, and reed instruments

With Great Care!

If your swap has got stuck it is most likely on the thumb hole that protrudes into the bore.

First, take apart the clarinet... now isolate which section it is stuck in and try gently wiggling.

If that does work, VERY carefully insert a pencil into the thumbhole, or the fingerholes and try and work it free that way.

If all else fails, take it to the local repair shop. If it is well and truly wedged there from being pulled, you may end up having to remove some keys to get at it.

it could be a cor aglais, also known as the english horn. most likely though, it is the oboe, which is more common.

In 2010, one of Artie Shaw's Selmer Bb clarinets was purchased, for reportedly around 20,000 GBP, for a 16 year old rising clarinet prodigy in Nottingham. There is at least one article on the internet reporting this.

No. It was always brass or a similar metal, although it wouldn't surprise me if somebody tried to make a reed out of wood.
