The Violin is a four-stringed instrument that is the high member of the violin family. A bow of horsehair is drawn across the strings, tuned at intervals of a fifth, to set them in vibration. The violin is the predominant instrument of the orchestra; a symphony orchestra uses more than thirty violinists. The Clarinet is a woodwind instrument having a straight, cylindrical tube with a flaring bell and a single-reed mouthpiece, played by means of finger holes and keys.
The French Horn is a valved brass wind instrument that produces a mellow tone from a 21 foot long, narrow tube that is coiled in a elaborate circular structure before ending in a flaring bell.
