Flute
The flute is the oldest of all instruments that produce pitched sounds and was originally made from wood, stone, clay or hollow reeds like bamboo. A standard flute is a little over 2 feet long and is often featured playing the melody. You play the flute by holding it sideways with both hands and blowing across a hole in the mouthpiece, much like blowing across the top of a bottle. Your fingers open and close the keys, which changes the pitch.
Clarinet
Clarinets are single reed instruments that come in a number of different sizes, and the standard B-flat clarinet is just over 2 feet long. They have a dark rich sound in their lower notes, while the upper part of the clarinet's range is bright and resonant. You play the clarinet by holding it upright, blowing through the reed, and using your hands to change the pitches by opening and closing the keys with your fingers.
