Woodwind Instruments

snare drum, timpani, cymbals, bass drum

Well the oboe is very light. I'm not exactly sure, but you never seem to get tired of holding it because of its light weight.

There are hundreds of different musical instruments around the world. Flutes and drums are some of the oldest. Stringed instruments such as the guitar, lute, dulcimer, and piano are found in many cultures as well.

Yes, for the most part. It depends on your teacher. Sight reading is the hardest part I think.

There are flutes, piccolos, clarinets, oboes, bass clarinets, bassoons, and all saxophones. Most school bands only have alto and tenor saxophones, maybe a bari-sax, and rarely a soprano saxophone.

The saxophone is a woodwind instrument

Though it looks like brass, people always mistake it for brass instrument, but it is a woodwind. It does not have valves like the brass instruments, but has reed and finger holes covered by small pads. Some like to call it brasswind.

No, the bassoon's fingerings are not the same as the fingering of oboes.

There was a time, back when oboes were first invented and bassoons were just changing over from the single-piece dulcian to the four-piece basson/bassoon that the fingering of the two instruments was quite similar, and had much in common with the recorder and flute as well.

With the split between the German and french schools of double reed instruments, though, it's hard to say that all bassoon fingerings are alike, or that all oboe fingerings are alike!

The major difference in fingering between all oboes and all bassoons comes from the fact that the bassoon's bore is folded. This means that two lengths of the bore, the part that makes high notes and the part that makes low notes, run parallel to each other. As a result, keys that affect low notes appear near keys which affect high notes, and fingers serve multiple duties.

Because of the size of the bassoon, it is generally supported from the lower end by a belt-like strap which the player sits upon. The oboe, though, is smaller, and is generally supported by the right thumb of the player. The immobilized thumb of the oboist and the free right thumb of the bassoonist lead to further differences between the instruments. The oboist has multiple keys which are operated by the little fingers and a key and a hole with a ring (the ring acts like another key) under the left thumb. The bassoonist, though, has two keys under the left little finger, as many as four under the right little finger, between 3 and 5 under the right thumb, and anywhere between 8 and 12 keys to operate with the left thumb!

If you were to consider the basic octave, though, there is a strong similarity between all of these instruments: the three fingers of the left hand (minus the little finger), the four of the right hand, and the left thumb are employed in playing the basic octave and most of the next octave. However, in all varieties of oboe and bassoon, accidental keys, whisper/voice keys (which help to sound upper octaves) and lower-range extension keys differ greatly.

I play the oboe and tried the bassoon for a few weeks. I found that the fingerings are the more or less the same but at a fifth difference, so an F on the oboe is a Bb on the bassoon.

the modern oboe was invented in the 1650's.

No. There is not a viola.

d flat is the same as c sharp. so just the octive key

To play the bassoon you must be trained by a teacher, but, although it helps to have relatively large hands, you can play the instrument just as well with very small hands if you are trained well enough.

i did some research on it and i cant find it on any websites i believe it does not exist but you can try decoding it i believe it starts with ( G-D-G-D) i also heard of people using Windows Media Player, which allows slowing the song down a lot like to .5 of the tempo or something crazy like that it's a pretty good tool to use so i strongly suggest it. Srry i cant find it and good luck

I have a Evette-Buffet silver flute serial # 562299...it they anyway to get history on this instrument?

Please help m in this. thanks

Conn makes a lot of different models. The 50M is an upper-level student horn. It's American made, and much better than Conn's later student models. Truth be told, it's not really a Conn. It's a Vito with Conn engraving. Vito horns are based on Beaugnier French saxophones, and area good design. If you're looking for a solid student horn, the 50M is a good choice.

The bassoon is a musical instrument in the woodwind family. It is the lowest, or bass, voice in the woodwind choir. It often duplicates the cello voice in orchestral compositions.

Q Shouldnt the lion sleep to night note be on a staff because I dont no the notes?

Wow, well this answer would take a while lol, look at it like this, there are 26 keys on an Alto Sax, the six keys you will most likely (depending on what your playing) be using, are the keys your fingers should be on when holding the sax. The top key alone, is a (B), if you play the next one along with the top key, you play an (A), and holding down all three keys, you will play a (G). Very bery basic notes, without a doubt used in almost every piece written. Then the bottom 3, no matter which bottom key you need to press, the 3 keys we just talked about, ALL need to be held down, the first key on the bottom, along with the top 3, will give you an (F), now holding down the second key, along with the first one, and the three on top, will give you an (E), and finally holding down the last key along with the first two keys and the three on top will give you a (D). Now while there are many many more notes out there for the alto, there are too many to type out like this because some of them require more complex detail, if you want to know more, go on the internet, and look up Alto Saxophone Fingering Charts, they have every note on a sax, on that chart. Hope this helped.

The primary difference between the Bb soprano saxophone and the Bb soprano clarinet (to choose equivalent members of their families) comes from the fact that the clarinet has a cylindrical bore and overblows a 12th (octave plus a fifth) while the saxophone overblows by an octave.

This means that the saxophone's second octave fingers like the first octave, while the clarinet needs extra keys to get the first four notes of the second octave!

There are other differences (for instance, the clarinet has a very large number of little-finger keys used for alternate fingerings, making it possible to play passages more smoothly which otherwise would be viciously hard to play at all.) But this is the fundamental difference between them.

( added on ) i don't know much about clarinets but I'm going to use this as an example. to play the same tone of another instrument you have different notes. For example. concert G would be A natural for saxaphones but a C for a horn

Well, most saxophones (depending on the color) can range from 200-5000 depending on where you get it. I got my black/gold Tenor saxophone off of eBay for only $350 and it was brand new. Look online more than in the stores, it's way cheaper.

"Clarinet" actually comes from the French word, "clarionette", or "little trumpet". This has to do with the size of the clarinet as well as the sounds and tone of its higher notes.

Look at a clarinet and you might eventually figure it out.

over all the piccolo is one octave higher then the flute. Which means that the piccolo is higher but sometimes in band pieces the piccolo part is one octave down then the flute part so the piccolo will be playing in the same octave but most of the time the piccolo part will be one octave up from the flute for as example if a person plays a low b flat on the flute and an other person played the low b flat on the piccolo there will be an octave difference I hope this makes sense to you.

Both instruments create their sound by virtue of a vibrating string.
