- Instrument Families in Music The instrument families are made up of four main families: woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion. The pictures below include some of the instruments in each musical family. The instruments have an audio file to listen to the instrument sound. Scroll down the page to see all of the instruments. Woodwind Family - Woodwind instruments produce a sound by blowing into a mouthpiece. Some woodwind instruments use a reed to make the sounds play. Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Brass Family - Brass instruments are played by 'buzzing' the lips into the mouthpiece.

Exploring the Evolution of Musical Instruments No one knows when that happened, but it was music. Archaeologists debate over when the first instruments were invented. The problem is that most instruments were made of perishable materials -- such as animal skins -- and would have disintegrated long ago. Flutes, one of the basic wind-powered instruments, might be made of bone with holes drilled in them, so they might have been preserved.

Flute The material from which a flute is made greatly alters the sound which is produced. Wooden flutes produce a dark sound. Silver flutes produce a bright sound. The thickness of the metal used to make a flute also alters the sound it makes, as well as changing the weight of the instrument.ome flutes are played by blowing air into a mouthpiece, which directs the air against the edge of a hole else-where in the flute. These instruments, known as whistle flutes, include the tubular recorder and the globular ocarina. Other flutes are played by blowing air directly against the edge of the hole.

Flute acoustics: an introduction to how a flute works The sound of the flute is a little like a sine wave (a very pure vibration) when played softly, but successively less like it as it is played louder. To make a repeated or periodic wave that is not a simple sine wave, one can add sine waves from the harmonic series.he sound of the flute is a little like a sine wave (a very pure vibration) when played softly, but successively less like it as it is played louder.

Physics level 3 waves Standing waves in wind instruments. Wind instruments produce their sound from the standing waves that resonate in the column of air inside a narrow pipe. In many wind instruments, the pipe is closed at one end and open at the other. The standing waves must have a node at the closed end and an antinode at the open end.

Flute Flute. A flute is a musical instrument that produces sound when a stream of air is directed against the edge of a hole, causing the air within the body of the instrument to vibrate.ome flutes are played by blowing air into a mouthpiece, which directs the air against the edge of a hole else-where in the flute. These instruments, known as whistle flutes, include the tubular recorder and the globular ocarina. Other flutes are played by blowing air directly against the edge of the hole.

- Some percussion instruments are tuned and can sound different notes, like the xylophone, timpani or piano, and some are untuned with no definite pitch, like the bass drum, cymbals or castanets. Percussion instruments keep the rhythm, make special sounds and add excitement and color.ome percussion instruments are tuned and can sound different notes, like the xylophone, timpani or piano, and some are untuned with no definite pitch, like the bass drum, cymbals or castanets.

Strings Since ancient times, stringed instruments, known as chordophones, have developed to all shapes and sizes. These instruments make sounds by vibrating strings. The strings may be played with a bow, plucked with fingers, or struck with hammers. Nearly all chordophones are made up of strings stretched across a resonator.

Wind chime A metal wind chime. Wind chimes are a type of percussion instrument constructed from suspended tubes, rods, bells or other objects that are often made of metal or wood. The tubes or rods are suspended along with some type of weight or surface which the tubes or rods can strike when they or another wind-catching surface are blown by the natural movement of air outside.

- Brass instruments are not necessarily made of the brass metal. The tone is produced by the forced vibrations of the player’s lips inside a mouthpiece. trumpet: smallest and highest-pitched (soprano) brass instrument. cornet: similar to in design to a trumpet but is shorter and has longer conical proportions.

- CLARINET The clarinet is a single reed instrument. Made from wood, the clarinet produces a fluid sound when air is blown between a single reed and the mouthpiece. By pressing metal keys with the fingers of both hands, the player has the ability to play many different notes very quickly. The clarinet can play in the low register, where the notes are rich and full. It can play in the middle register. It can also play in the high register. Clarinets have their own family of instruments that includes the soprano clarinet in E flat, the most common B-flat clarinet, the bass clarinet, the less common alto clarinet, and even a contrabass clarinet. A descendent of the Renaissance chalumeau, it was improved through the end of the 18th century when the clarinet became a standard instrument in the orchestra. Clarinet Links http://www.clarinet.org/

Instrument Families of the Orchestra: String, Woodwind, Brass & Percussion Each family is grouped by the way the instrument produces vibration. This kind of classification gives us the string family, the woodwind family, the brass family and the percussion family. The String Family. When you think of the orchestra, you most likely think of the violin, or at least some sort of string instrument. This is probably because they make up the majority of the instruments in the orchestra, so good thinking! All string instruments use string vibration to produce sound, so it makes sense that they are called the string family! There are four main string instruments. These are the violin, the viola, the cello and the bass.

How Does the Clarinet Make Sound? The clarinet will still produce sound if the bell is removed from the instrument. Sound Quality and Reed Firmness. The quality of the clarinet's sound is determined by many factors. A beginning clarinetist can produce a random sound on a clarinet by putting the mouthpiece in his mouth and blowing hard. A quality sound is achieved by practice.

- You may produce rhythm by clapping with your hands, and you produce sound by blowing air across them. There are a variety of hard-blown and soft-blown wind instruments. Air is blown into a mouthpiece, therewith producing a vibration generating a sound, without the use of lips. This method is applied in connection with the mouthpiece of the trumpet. Such instruments are made from clay, wood or animal’s horn, today there is only naturally also used metal or plastics. Some are used as children’s toys or in rituals.

- Percussion instruments produce sound when they are struck or shaken. Their name, percussion, means the hitting of one body against another.. In the orchestra, the percussion section provides rhythm and tone color.Percussion instruments are made from many materials, but usually consist of either a solid material or a stretched membrane (thin material).nare drum. The snare drum has a crisp untuned sound that is used by the military and in marching bands. Sometimes called the side drum, the snare drum has two heads made of skin stretched over a hollow metal frame. The top head is struck with wooden drumsticks, and is called the batter-head.

Brass Instruments The term brass instrument is slightly misleading, as not all brass instruments are construed from brass. In fact the term is defined by the way the sound is made; where the player's lips vibrate against a mouthpiece, creating the noise which is then controlled by either valves or a slide.
