How do you play high c on clarinet?
Try doubling the pressure against the reed with your lip until it jumps an octave.
What is the lowest pitched instrument in the clarinet family?
Double bass. An instrument has the pitch higher as it's size gets smaller. Violin is very high pitched. Viola is more mellow. Cello suffices for a dramatic or romantic song. And double bass is a wonderful accomplisher for working in groups. Or that's just my opinion. Anyway double bass is your answer. Have fun :D
Which instrument in woodwind family has a double reed?
oboes and bassoons
(and any instruments in the oboe and bassoon family, i.e. cor anglais, contra bassoon etc.)

In top-tier orchestras you usually 4 oboists, though typically one of them is officially the English Horn player.
A typical band or orchestra has two to three oboes.
It's usually the number of oboes required by a composer in any given piece. A Haydn symphony may require two oboes (or in some of his symphonies: NONE) while a tone-poem by Richard Strauss may require triple WW or more.

Is Harmony a good brand for a clarinet?
I have never heard of that brand, but for marching band you do not need a clarinet that is as good as your concert clarinet. I have two clarinets. One is a nice wooden Yamaha that I use for concerts. The other is a plastic one. I would definitely recommend using plastic for marching band as it will be exposed to the elements.

How are the sounds produced in the woodwind family?
The reed vibrates and the sound goes through the instrument.
Is sheet music for the clarinet the same as sheet music for the flute?
(Afgncaap8 disagrees, saying that clarinet music isdifferent from flute, and that it is the same as trumpet, but the clarinet has different music than the piano! The piano is a C instrument, whereas the typical trumpet and clarinet tend to be tuned to B-flat. However, usually the flute and the piano are both tuned to C, so their music could be the same.)

The oboe is almost always black. But wood oboes are made from Grenadilla or Rosewood have a slightly reddish hue in certain light. The keys are nickel plated, and are thus silver.
What is the value of a wood Bundy clarinet serial number 66142?
Bundy clarinets around that age usually sell for about $50 or less in decent condition. They are very sturdy and worthwhile to have. Unfortunately there are many on the market right now so that value has decreased.
What do you do when oboe reeds go moldy?
An oboe reed can get moldy over time if it isn't properly cleaned after being used. It's a good idea to wipe it off after using it, perhaps blowing on it a couple of times after taking it out of the oboe to get any excess water out of it. Letting it sit out for awhile to dry before you put it back in its case helps prevent mold from growing, too.
Well, the flute is the highest instrument in the band. it can reach really high piches. it takes a lot of air to get a sound out of it. (i know, i play one). your mouth muscles have to be strong. your fingers have to move fast. there are many fun things you can do like sing while you play, you can do a thing called flutter toungue, and you can do both at the same time.
hi, this is another person... just wanted to say, this answer above^^, is mostly wrong. I am a first chair flute and a first chair picciloist. A piccilo is a smaller flute and is said to be an octive higher than a flute. I am in high school, Junior Year, and I know a lot about the flute. I take private lessons from a woman who has been in county bands, area bands, high school bands, orchestras, played during plays, solos in important concerts and much much more. SO, again, I know more than people do in my grade. Also, I just wanted to say, you cannot sing while playing the flute. It is physically impossible unless you stop playing and sing then play again. The flute IS NOT the highest instrument in the band. Piccilo is. So, then again, the person above, was wrong. is CAN reach high pitches when you really pinch your lips and push your bottom lip forward. your fingers do not have to move fast unless you want to play a song fast or just want to trill (*trill- move from one note to a note above it fast... if you use letters, it would be ababababababababab fast*). The flutter tongue is npt something you do. It may be a "nick-name" to the person above^but it is not what it's really called. It's really called, DOUBLE TOUNGING. hope THIS helps. =D have fun!!
Another person again, but the first answer was mainly right actually, apart from the piccolo part- that is the highest instrument, although a lot of the time it's not really seen as an instrument in its own right. You can sing and play the flute at the same time- very strange technique and I've never seen it in written music but i learnt to do it a few years ago- its more like humming to be honest- obviously you can't sing words, but you can sing a note through a flute and play a different note and get a chord which is quite nice. Being able to play fast is a definite advantage, as in orchestras, flutes tend to get very fiddly parts, but of course there's lots of slow music for flute aswell. Finally, flutter tonguing is very different to double tonguing- double tonguing is just like making a "tuhkuh" sound through the flute, and helps you to play very fast staccato sections, whereas flutter tonguing is like rolling your r's, although i can flutter tongue but not roll my r's, as i have a strange but very effective technique for it. But anyway, some new stuff, the flute has a range from middle c, to the fsharp 3 and a half octaves above- although written music that goes this high is fairly rare, and fingerings for the top half octave are relatively hard to find. It requires a huge amount of air to play, second only to the tuba, as only a quarter of the amount of air you breathe actually goes through it........ ohhh, and just tried this out, you can sing and flutter tongue at the same time and it sounds amazing! ^^thanks for the tip first answerer!
How do you find out what type of clarinet you have?
The hard one is Bb and A. A is slightly longer than Bb. Eb is tiny, But Ab is smaller. Alto has a slightly bent barrel and bell and the bass looks like a tenor saxophone. Contrabass.... now that's a tricky one. The straight one looks like a stretched bass, but the curly one looks like a paperclip.
What woodwind instruments are the most recent?
Yes the saxophone is the newest instrument to be added to the Woodwind section. I had to look this up for a Music test I needed.
What is considered to be the most difficult piece for flute?
I nominate the flute part to the Villa-Lobos Quintette en Forme de Choros. There is also a rough flute part in the Prokofiev Classical Symphony that has a lot of zooms up to high Ds.
