Woodwind Instruments

Piccalo (by far) is the highest. Next comes: flute, oboe, clarinet, french horn.

The oboe is larger than the piccolo. The largest woodwind instrument is the contrabass saxophone.

No they just look cooler and most band or orchestra directors won't let you use one because they are distracting.

playing a clarinet is just the same with a palatal expander than it is before. I had one and there is no difference.

It depends entirely on the piece but usually 1 or more comonly none

Timpani are also known as kettle drums and are, well... drums. They don't have reeds of any kind.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th 6th, and lower pinky keys.

The most common types of saxophones you will find in concert bands and such are the

Bb tenor,

Eb alto,

Eb barry (baritone)

saxophones. Another common type is the

Bb soprano.

There are many different types of saxophones, though, so don't be surprised if, for example, you find a C soprano and a Bb soprano or whatever. They're still both saxes.

Hope this helped.

Cor anglais music is read in treble clef.

at the least, it is worth $300, if in slightly poor shape. in excellent condition, it is worth $400 or more. usually more. :)

the oboe and the bassoon use double reeds. So do the English horn (a larger kind of oboe) and the contra-bassoon (a larger bassoon.)

I wish i knew. :)

Clarinet average cost 200 bucks in Canada.

A bassoon reed is what creates the sound on a bassoon. It is a double reed. They are either bought from stores or made by players themselves. They can range from 10 to 30 dollars. They are made from cane.

The reed vibrates.

Depending on the size and brand, usually around 16-18 feet.

The ligature is a small, usually metal or leather, thing that holds the reed against the mouthpiece of the clarinet. Without it, you could be constantly stressing your lips to keep the reed in place or the reed could just fall off altogether.

Clinton was the US president in 1998 and liked to play the saxophone-- maybe that is what are thinking about.

There is no such thing as a treble saxophone. From high to low, it goes like this: sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contra-bass. Saxophones also have different pitches within those groupings. For example, the alto is usually in E flat. There is also the F, and C. However, I believe all saxes below the baritone are played in the bass clef, which would make all higher saxophones until the alto treble instrument, smeaning they play in the treble clef. I am not sure about soprano and sopranino.

A viola is a string instrument

The sound of a clarinet gets louder as the musician blows harder into it. Also, the musician tightens the mouth to make the sound more stable, so you can make it even louder.

To make the clarinet go quieter, you do not blow as much air into the clarinet.

A major scale you mean? Well the easiest one is Bb and it goes:

C D E F G A B C

and then back down again. The arpeggio is C E G C G E C

Hope this helped!

You don't. Unless something is broken. If so, leave that to the professionals.

used ones from $150 to $400s in good conditions
