Wind instrument, all variety

Wind instruments have occurred a very long time, back in antiquity. The flute and avlos, the modern oboe, are considered to be the first. Time has greatly changed them, now they are almost not similar to those that were before.

Wind instruments are more perfect, both externally and in terms of their functions. They distinguish two groups - copper and wood.

Long time grouping into two types occurred, proceeding from materials that were used for manufacturing.

Today it is rare to find a wind instrument made of pure wood. For example, oboe, the clarinet is made of plastic, and the flute is made of metal.

Purely wooden tools - a rarity, you can say, a rarity. And copper is not always made of copper, in the modern world for their manufacture use various metal alloys, for example, tin and brass.

Before buying a flute, trumpet or saxophone, you need to pay attention to the material from which they are made.

I'll take a closer look at brass instruments. The melody and pitch of the sound for them depends only on the musician himself, on the position of his lips, and on how strong he blows the air.

Such musical support gives any orchestra a solemnity and brightness due to its brilliant appearance and loud sound. The most powerful wind instrument is the trumpet, and the most romantic and melodic is the French horn. The most popular instruments are trombone, cornet and horn.

They are widely used both in classical orchestras, and in modern jazz. And the jazz orchestra complements such musical wind instrument as a saxophone.

Basically, all the copper tools define a big point in the finale of the musical work. Before, they could only make basic sounds. And only in the XIX century came up with a valve system, thanks to which it became possible to change the tone of the sound, and the concert involving pipes and cornets became even more sublime. And any wind instrument now sounds much better than before.

Ethnic instruments can be considered separately. In addition to standard ones, such as trumpet, trombone and others, every nation of the world has its own. The most popular ethnic wind instruments are bagpipes and flute. There are many varieties of flute around the world, for example, the Chinese hulussi, Armenian shvi, Italian ocarina and many other kinds.

Unlike modern variety music, it is the game of wind instruments that will please everyone, probably. Because their sound is natural and laid-back. In the hands of a professional musician, the wind instrument is simply a magic wand that lifts the mood if the melody is cheerful, joyful, and brings sadness to the depths of the soul, if sad.

Some esotericists believe that the music that wind musical instruments reproduce has different healing properties. They recommend listening to it every day, it will not only improve your health, but will also raise your spirits.
