Instruments
The flute is an instrument in the woodwind family, but, unlike the clarinet and saxophone, the sound is produced by blowing across the mouthpiece, much like you would if you were blowing into a coke bottle.
Flute Sound Sample
The clarinet is a reed instrument and is part of the woodwind family. The sound is produced by blowing air through the instrument past a reed (small piece of shaved bamboo). Different notes are produced by cover open holes on the body of the instrument.
Clarinet Sound Sample
The alto saxophone is a reed instrument and is part of the woodwind family. The sound is produced by blowing air through the instrument past a reed (small piece of shaved bamboo). Different notes are produced by covered holes on the body of the instrument.
Alto Sax Sound Sample
The trumpet is an instrument in the brass family. The sound is produced by buzzing your lips into a cupped mouthpiece. Different notes are produced by tightening and loosening the amount of the buzz while pressing down three valves in different combinations.
Trumpet Sound Sample
The trombone is an instrument in the brass family. The sound is produced by buzzing your lips into a cupped mouthpiece. Different notes are produced by tightening and loosening the amount of the buzz while moving the slide in or out to different position.
