| 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.
