a fifth below the ordinary oboe, with a bulbous bell and, at the top end, a bent metal crook on which the double
reed is placed. It is pitched in F, being written a fifth higher than it sounds. Its compass is from the E below
middle C to the second E above. The name first appeared in Vienna about 1760; ―cor‖ refers to the curved or
hornlike shape it then had, but the origin of ―anglais‖ (―English‖) remains a mystery.

lips into a large cupped mouthpiece.

9. Trumpet
A trumpet is a musical instrument. It is the highest register in the brass family. Trumpets are among the oldest
musical instruments,[1]
dating back to at least 1500 BC. They are played by blowing air through closed lips,
producing a "buzzing" sound that starts a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the instrument. Since
the late 15th century they have primarily been constructed of brass tubing, usually bent twice into a rounded
oblong shape.
Oboe
The oboe /ˈoʊboʊ/ is a soprano-ranged, double reed musical instrument of the woodwind family made from a
wooden tube roughly 65 cm (25-1/2 inches)long, with metal keys, a conical bore and flared bell. Sound is
produced by blowing into the reed and vibrating a column of air. The distinctive oboe tone is versatile, and has
been described as "bright".
Bassoon
The bassoon[1]
is a woodwind instrument in the double reed family that typically plays music written in the bass
and tenor clefs, and occasionally the treble. Appearing in its modern form in the 19th century, the bassoon
figures prominently in orchestral, concert band and chamber music literature. The bassoon is a non-transposing
instrument known for its distinctive tone color, wide range, variety of character and agility. Listeners often
compare its warm, dark, reedy timbre to that of a male baritone voice. Someone who plays the bassoon is called
a bassoonist.

10. Clarinet
The clarinet is a type of woodwind instrument that has a single-reed mouthpiece, a straight cylindrical tube
with an approximately cylindrical bore, and a flaring bell. A person who plays the clarinet is called a clarinetist
or clarinettist.
Cornet

and mellower tone quality. The most common cornet is a transposing instrument in B♭. It is not related to the
renaissance and early baroque cornett.
Piccolo
The piccolo[1]
(Italian for small, but named Ottavino in Italy)[2]
is a half-size flute, and a member of the
woodwind family of musical instruments. The piccolo has most of the same fingerings as its larger sibling, the
standard transverse flute,[3]
but the sound it produces is an octave higher than written. This gave rise to the name
"ottavino," the name by which the instrument is referred to in the scores of Italian composers.

horizontally-laid gongs that function melodically, accompanied by larger, suspended gongs and drums. As part
of the larger gong-chime culture of Southeast Asia, kulintang music ensembles have been playing for many
centuries in regions of the Eastern Malay Archipelago—the Southern Philippines, Eastern Indonesia, Eastern
Malaysia, Brunei and Timor,[6]
although this article has a focus on the Philippine Kulintang traditions of the
Maranao and Maguindanao peoples in particular.

Philippine drum, primarily used as a supportive instrument in the kulintang
ensemble. Among the five main kulintang instruments, it is the only non-gong element of the Maguindanao
ensemble.

19. Gandingan
The gandingan is a Philippine set of four large, hanging gongs used by the Maguindanao as part of their
kulintang ensemble. When integrated into the ensemble, it functions as a secondary melodic instrument after the
main melodic instrument, the kulintang. When played solo, the gandingan allows fellow Maguindanao to
communicate with each other, allowing them to send messages or warnings via long distances. This ability to
imitate tones of the Maguindanao language using this instrument has given the gandingan connotation: the
―talking gongs.
Cymbal
Cymbals are a common percussion instrument. Cymbals consist of thin, normally round plates of various
alloys; see cymbal making for a discussion of their manufacture. The majority of cymbals are of indefinite
pitch, although small disc-shaped cymbals based on ancient designs sound a definite note (see: crotales).
Cymbals are used in many ensembles ranging from the orchestra, percussion ensembles, jazz bands, heavy
metal bands, and marching groups. Drum kits usually incorporate at least a crash, ride or crash/ride, and a pair
of hi-hat cymbals.

plates or tubes, thus making it a metallophone. The glockenspiel, moreover, is usually smaller and higher in
pitch.

22. Tambourine
The tambourine is a musical instrument in the percussion family consisting of a frame, often of wood or
plastic, with pairs of small metal jingles, called "zils". Classically the term tambourine denotes an instrument

other instruments in the contrabass register exist.
Bass violin
Bass violin is the modern term for various 16th and 17th-century bass instruments of the violin (i.e. "viola da
braccio") family. They were the direct ancestor of the modern cello.[1]

larger than the modern cello, but tuned the same or sometimes just one step lower than it.
Clavichord
The clavichord is a European stringed keyboard instrument known from the late Medieval, through the
Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras. Historically, it was widely used as a practice instrument and as an aid
to composition, not being loud enough for larger performances. The clavichord produces sound by striking
brass or iron strings with small metal blades called tangents.

The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. Widely used in classical and jazz music for
solo performances, ensemble use, chamber music and accompaniment, the piano is also popular as a tool for
composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have
made it one of the world's most familiar musical instruments.
Single-tension (drums)
Single-tension is one of several ways to apply the necessary tension to drum heads. Single-tension systems
largely replaced the ancient rope-tension methods in the late 19th Century and are still used today in lower-
priced drums for student use.
