Fue have two varieties. One is the end-blown flute which has a hole on both ends. The other is the transverse flute which is held horizontally with the embouchure hole only near one end. How does the flute work? A rapid jet of air blown by the flute player from the mouthpiece is the source of power for playing the instrument. These are the contrabass trombone, bass trombone, tenor trombone, alto trombone, soprano trombone, and sopranino and piccolo trombones. Playing the trombone There are seven possible positions of the trombone. To vary the pitch, the player adjusts the lip shape. The contracting or relaxing of ones lips changes the sound produced by the trombone. The lyre in modern Greece You can no longer see the classical lyre being played in Greece nowadays. In modern Greece, the term lyre refers to many kinds of bowed instruments connected to either the Persian Kemanche or the Byzantine bowed lyra. There are two fundamental designs of bowed lyres. One has the shape of a bottle and is a descendant of the Cappadocian kemane. Traditionally, it has eight to sixteen holes in intervals of two. The regular chromatic harmonica uses the slide to produce some of the notes in a complete chromatic scale which is recurring at each octave. Diatonic harmonicas are intended in only play in a particular key. It is more simple to learn the C, G, and A scales. Controlling the high pitches Among all the woodwind instruments used in military bands and orchestras, the piccolo has the highest pitch causing it to stand out. It is also difficult to get the intonation right with the piccolo. You need a lot more lip control in playing a piccolo than most woodwind instruments. Also, the Greeks played the krotola in religious affairs but it is proven that castanets were also found in Italian, Latin, and Portuguese music among many others. Use of the Castanets Castanets are dominant in music for dances in the baroque period. These were score for dancing music by composers such as Jean-Baptiste Lully.
