In this video, we take a tour around a symphony orchestra, seeing and hearing examples of each instrument in turn, starting with the string section, travelling through the woodwind, brass, and percussion, and finishing with the piano and harp. Enjoy!

Apologies for the typo: should be double basses. I'm not the author of the orchestral layout map, so not guilty on this occasion!

@Pulp_nd_Fuss 2 жыл бұрын

I think that would be possible but it'd be more of a life goal. And yet you'd play a given instrument less better than a guy that dedicated his whole life to that one signle instrument.

@raquelvasquez5152 2 жыл бұрын

@@Pulp_nd_Fuss I realized that there's somewhat a possibility due to some instruments relating to others. Like the violin helps learn viola cello and bass just by knowing the notes. The only thing you need is get used to the positioning. But, idk how I'm going to learn so much. Sometimes I guess I get too excited.

It's a shame that the double-bass was covered almost entirely by the piano. This often happens when a double-bass gets to play a solo piece. The pianist tends to accompany the double-bass like the might accompany a trombone and play far too loudly. The double-bass may be big, but it isn't a loud instrument.

Thanks. There are no saxophones in a traditional Western symphony orchestra. They've appeared infrequently since the 1960s, but still by no means the norm.
