Woodwind Instruments

The LJ Hutchen Clarinet is an excellent instrument for a young musician learning to play. The company stands behind their product and provides a real 2-year warranty. It won't bring your student through college, but certainly gets them started and usually is accomodates them through middle school.

he plays an alto

and an em Winston BOSTON tenor sax

Practice. More experience, the better sound. Also, the mouthpiece makes a big difference to the sound. The mouthpiece that comes with the saxophone tends to (not always) be a beginner one, that is easy to use but is unable to hit the low and high notes. Whereas if you got a more professional mouthpiece, after you get used to it, it sounds much nicer and is easier to play. Another thing, by learning techniques like vibrato or 'growling', makes great effects when performing and recording. To do vibrato, move your jaw (fast) up and down ever so slightly when playing a long note; this makes it sound sort of echoey and like the sound is vibrating, hence the name 'vibrato'. To growl, make a humming noise whilst playing a note, and it makes an intense gnarly sound. Though it is quite tricky to do, so don't be put off if you can't do it after a few tries ;)

Remember though, saxophones that are on CDs are edited in sound. They put on echo effects and pitch corrector so it sounds perfect, which is extremely difficult to do playing live. So use recorded saxophones as a reference, but don't get upset if you don't sound exactly like it ;)

Cor anglais, or the English horn, is a double-reed instrument. It's a larger version of the oboe.

They are both double-reed instruments. The oboe is like the soprano of this subcategory and bassoon is like the tenor or baritone-bass.

Yes you can its like low F but with your thumb key.

Yes. You can see that sometimes during concerts she does.

Yamaha clarinets are usually worth between $2200 and $3000.

-----

Impossible to tell without more information. Wood or ABS plastic? Condition? Could be as little as $50 ~ $75 if it is an older ABS plastic model, playable but with visible wear to plating, scratches, etc.

By comparison BRAND NEW on-line competitive pricing on Yamaha clarinets starts out at around $800. Once you take it out of the store value drops considerably.

In an orchestra, the "normal key" is C. So, if you are playing a C note on a C clarinet it will sound as a C. On a B(B flat) clarinet, when you play C it will sound B flat. On an A clarinet a C will sound as if A was played and consequently on a G clarinet a C will sound as a G.

So for the clarinets B, A and G, music needs to be transposed (changed), so that we play the correct notes. This is done so we can switch between different clarinets. Otherwise we would need to learn different fingerings for all the different clarinets. The C clarinet is not transposed and we play it as it is.

I hope this makes sense... :)

That depends on you.

A saxophone a bit like playing the flute and playing the recorder (maybe clarinet I;m not sure)

Bearing in mind I play both flute and sax, I find flute easier. You shouldn't take my advice though, since I only started playing the sax at Christmas and I'm grade 7 at flute lol

Try doubling the pressure against the reed with your lip until it jumps an octave.

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

oboes and bassoons

(and any instruments in the oboe and bassoon family, i.e. cor anglais, contra bassoon etc.)

A flute

It has 3 parts that make up its body, and the reed

well for most of us in the usa it was the foundation of our families in the south the Scots-Irish where the main settlers whene Europe first conolized america so for most of us Scotland gave us life whether you like it or not

You lick it then play with it. There is no quicker way.

Well you shoudnt really just lick it. Soak it in water for about 2 minutes and play on it for about 10 minutes. Do that for about 4-7 days.

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.

i am not sure weather it will sound the same but for piano it is

f-f-f-f-e-f-f-e-f-f-g-a

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.

clarinets are so important because they are part of an orchestra and they are very special...

The reed vibrates and the sound goes through the instrument.
