Saxophone:
The saxophone is a family of woodwind instruments.
Saxophones are usually made of brass and played
with a single-reedmouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet.
The saxophone family was invented by the Belgian
instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1840. Sax wanted
to create a group or series of instruments that would
be the most powerful and vocal of the woodwinds,
and the most adaptive of the brass-that would fill
the vacant middle ground between the two sections.
He patented the saxophone on June 28, 1846,
in two groups of seven instruments each.
The saxophone uses a single-reed mouthpiece
similar to that of the clarinet. Most saxophonists
use reeds made from Arundo donax cane,
but since the 20th century some have also been
made of fiberglass and other composite materials.
Trumpets:
A trumpet is a musical instrument.
It has the highest register in the brass family.
As a signaling device in battle or hunting,
trumpets have a very long history,
dating back to at least 1500 BC;
they have been used as musical instruments
since the 15th century.
Trumpets are used in art music styles,
where they are an instrument in the orchestra
and in concert bands, and in popular music styles
such as jazz.
They are played by blowing air through almost-closed lips,
producing a "buzzing" sound that starts a standing wave
vibration in the air column inside the instrument.
Trombone:
The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family.
Like all brass instruments, sound is produced when the player’s
vibrating lips (embouchure) cause the air column inside the
instrument to vibrate. Nearly all trombones have a telescoping
slide mechanism that varies the length of the instrument to
change the pitch. Many modern trombone models also utilise
a rotary valve as a means to lower pitch of the instrument.
Variants such as the valve trombone and superfine have
three valves like those on the trumpet.
The word trombone derives from Italian tromba (trumpet) and
-one (a suffix meaning "large"), so the name means "large trumpet".
The trombone has a predominantly cylindrical bore like its
valved counterpart the baritone and in contrast to its conical
valved counterparts, the euphonium and the horn.
Clarinet:
The clarinet is a musical-instrument family belonging to the group
known as the woodwind instruments.
It has a single-reed mouthpiece, a straight cylindrical tube with
an almost cylindrical bore, and a flared bell.
A person who plays a clarinet is called a clarinetist
(sometimes spelled clarinettist).
The word clarinet may have entered the English language via
the French clarinette (the feminine diminutive of Old French
clarin or clarion), or from Provençal clarin, "oboe".
It would seem however that its real roots are to be found
amongst some of the various names for trumpets used around
the renaissance and baroque eras. Clarion, clarin and the Italian
clarino are all derived from the medieval term clara which
referred to an early form of trumpet.
Drum:
The drum is a member of the percussion group of musical
instruments. In the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system,
it is a membranophone. Drums consist of at least one membrane,
called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and
struck, either directly with the player's hands, or with a drum stick,
to produce sound. There is usually a resonance head on the
underside of the drum, typically tuned to a slightly lower pitch than
the top drumhead. Other techniques have been used to cause
drums to make sound, such as the thumb roll.
Drums are the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical
instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually
unchanged for thousands of years.
