Orchestras are Fun


The Cello is a bowed string instrument of the violin family, pitched lower than the viola but higher than the double bass. It consists of four strings suspended over a long fingerboard and large resonating body of wood. The Trumpet is a high member of the brass family, this wind instrument consists of a shallow cupped mouthpiece at the end of a long metal tube looped once and ending in a flared bell. Three valves on the top center of the modern instrument are used to change the pitch resulting in a brilliant, penetrating sound.
The Flute is a high-pitched reedless woodwind instrument consisting of a slender tube closed at one end with keys and finger holes on the side.
