Woodwind Instruments In the orchestras of Western art music, there are four main groups of instruments: strings, percussion, brass, and woodwinds. Woodwinds often play together with all the other instruments of the orchestra, but they also get to play solos in the orchestra, unlike most of the string players. Concert bands have woodwinds, brass, and percussion only, no strings. Most woodwind instruments are tubes that are (or were long ago) made from wood, and players blow their "wind," or breath, into them to make sounds. Some woodwinds are conical, or cone-shaped—the tube starts small and gets bigger along the way to the end. Other woodwinds are cylindrical, or cylinder-shaped—the size of the tube stays about the same from one end to the other, like a paper-towel tube. Woodwind instruments make sounds in different ways. Five families of instruments make up the woodwind section: flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, and bassoon. Here is a look at each family and how its instruments produce sound. The Flute Family People have enjoyed playing the flute for at least 5,000 years. Most modern flutes are made of metal because metal helps them to sound louder in today’s big concert halls. Sound is produced on a flute the same way it is on a whistle. When the player’s breath hits the hole on the top of the mouthpiece of the flute, the air stream splits in two and makes a whistling sound. Flute players need to be able to hold a lot of air in their lungs. They also need to control the escape of all that air. This is called "breath control." It takes good breath control to play the flute.

4. TWO V3.2: Cracks In Woodwind Instruments Cracks in woodwind instruments. by Edmund Nielsen. Editor s Cracks in woodwind instruments are caused by neglect. A strong statement? A http://idrs.colorado.edu/Publications/TWOboist/TWO.V3.2/cracks.html

Cracks in Woodwind Instruments by Edmund Nielsen Editor's Note: Edmund Nielsen, who has been repairing woodwind instruments for 30 years, operates his own woodwind repair business in Chicago. He is also currently first oboist of the Elmhurst (Illinois) Symphony Orchestra. This article is reprinted from the January issue of the "Instrumentalist" with the kind of permission of the author and the publisher. Cracks in woodwind instruments are caused by neglect. A strong statement? A statement scarcely calculated to win friends? True. But it is based on over 30 years of repair experience. We all worry about those cracks that develop in the upper half of the upper sections of oboes, English horns and clarinets. Over the years, I have repeatedly analyzed this problem and have come to the conclusion that this cracking is the result of allowing the inner fibers of the wood at the bore to expand suddenly and excessively while the outer wood surfaces are in a contracted condition. That we are dealing with an extremely powerful force is demonstrated by the common examples that we can see around us. Who has not seen a sidewalk or a street that has cracked as a result of tree roots which have expanded? Each individual root fiber may be very minute, but when it expands and adds to the stress of the fiber next to it the resultant force is enough to cause the pavement to crack. An even more common example is the way that many wooden doors and windows stick in damp humid weather, but move freely when drier weather returns.

ASW Guide to Historical Woodwind Instruments Back to Historical Woodwind Index Medieval Woodwind Instruments Renaissance Woodwind Instruments Baroque Woodwind Instruments ... Folk Woodwind Instruments Medieval Woodwind Instruments As with recorders, there are virtually no surviving woodwind instruments from prior to the sixteenth century; modern makers have been most ingenious in creating medieval instruments by extrapolating backwards from later renaissance instruments, incorporating European and folk instrument influences, and using depictions of instruments in paintings and wood and stone carvings as a point of departure. John Hanchet has created a set of five medieval shawms which are smaller and quieter in tone than the later, large bore instruments of the renaissance. They are also narrower in bore and a good deal easier to play than the later shawms. They are an excellent choice for the beginning reed player. We offer a variety of medieval woodwind instruments made by James Furner: gemshorns made from African oxhorn in five sizes, bone flutes, and horn cornetts. Whether windcap instruments per se Back to Top of Page Renaissance Woodwind Instruments In the sixteenth century, instrument makers developed large families of wind instruments from the sparser medieval instrumentarium; most instruments were made in four to eight different sizes and pitches. The taste of the period dictated the performance of music on contrasting choirs of like instruments, as well as in the mixed ensembles more common in the middle ages and in later periods. The palette of wind instrument colors was far more extensive in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries than at any other time in music history. Transverse flutes, of straight cylindrical bore with six open tone holes, were commonly used in alto, tenor, and bass sizes, although most modern makers provide a soprano size as well. Their simple, open sound contrasts well with renaissance recorder tone as well as with the many reed instruments.

How Do Woodwind Instruments Work? Sound First something about sound. If you put your finger gently on a loudspeaker you will feel it vibrate - if it is playing a low note loudly you can see it moving. When it moves forwards, it compresses the air next to it, which raises its pressure. Some of this air flows outwards, compressing the next layer of air. The disturbance in the air spreads out as a travelling sound wave. Ultimately this sound wave causes a very tiny vibration in your eardrum - but that's another story. Frequency Woodwind Instruments Woodwind instruments have a long, thin column of air. The lowest note is played with all the tone holes closed, when the column is longest. The column is shortened by opening up holes successively, starting from the open end. At the other end there is something that controls air flow: an air jet for the flute family and cane reeds for other woodwinds. We shall look at these elements in turn. The air column. A sound wave can travel down the tube, reflect at one end and come back. It can then reflect at the other end and start over again. For a note in the lowest register of the flute, the round trip constitutes one cycle of the vibration. (In the lowest register of clarinets, two round trips are required: see Flutes vs clarinets ). The longer the tube, the longer the time taken for the round trip, and so the lower the frequency. In woodwind instruments, the effective length is changed by opening and closing finger- holes or keyholes along the side. This is the way pitch is changed within the same register of the instrument: all holes closed gives the lowest note, and opening the holes successively from the bottom end gives a chromatic scale. (The use of simple and cross-fingerings to change the length of the standing wave is discussed in much more detail and with specific examples in

Woodwind instrument From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A woodwind instrument is a musical instrument in which sound is produced by blowing through a mouthpiece against an edge or by a vibrating reed, and in which the pitch is varied by opening or closing holes in the body of the instrument. Woodwind instruments were originally made of wood, as the word woodwind implies. There are three main sorts of woodwind instrument: Single Reed instruments use a reed a thinly sliced piece of cane, (or less frequently, plastic) that is held against the aperture of the mouthpiece with a ligature. When air is forced between the reed and the mouthpiece, the vibrations create the sound. Single reed instruments include the clarinet and saxophone families of instruments. Double Reed instruments use two precisely cut, small pieces of cane joined together at the base . The finished, bound reed is inserted into the top of the instrument and vibrates as air is forced between the two pieces of bound cane. There are two sub-families exposed double reed instruments, where the reed goes between the player's lips. The

In 1999 we moved to Devon, which involved the conversion of a blacksmiths forge into a workshop. Restoration work, particularly of instruments from the 18th & 19th centuries, is increasing all the time. These jobs I usually like to take plenty of time over. Sometimes there is no choice if I have to search for materials, but even then I tend to allow plenty of "thinking time" for each job. I also undertake custom work on all instruments, which includes the fitting of specialist thumbrests on clarinets, keywok extensions and other modifications to help people with injuries or disbalities to play an instrument. With an interest in both wind instruments and engineering, it seemed logical for me to study the making and repairing of them. To pursue this interest, I joined the most prestigious course in the UK, at Newark Technical College in 1986. From Newark I went to work full time in a specialist woodwind shop, setting up new instruments, repairing customers instruments and preparing used instruments for sale.
