What musical instrument am I?
A piccolo is like a small flute. The piccolo is made from wood, metal, gold, or plastic and is used in classical and marching bands. The piccolo is used as an ornamental instrument and plays an octave above the flute. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccolo)
Here is an example of what the piccolo sounds like (the music starts playing 45 seconds into the video) :

awww I LOVED it when I lived in Northern VA and the different military bands would play the piccolo!
so that's what a piccolo looks like! :)
Today's is a tough one, but I think it might be a bassoon. Not a very popular instrument, but I think I remember what it looks like and that seems right.
clarinet bassoon?? I am so not musically inclined!!
Bass Clarinet?
I think its a bass clarinet too..
tidbit...i play the piccolo and actually have 2. ok, i should restate that. i played the piccolo for a number of years. i can pick it up and make some decent music, but i've lost the touch. i actually was thinking of taking some lessons again...why not?
Boy, that is not what piccolo's looked like in my day. I played the flute and on rare occasion, the piccolo, and it was just a miniture version of my flute.
Yikes, I thought it was an oboe...thanks for teaching me something new today!
Oh, that's a baffoon, I mean a bassoon.
Cool, I got last week's pic correct. My third grade music teacher would be so proud, smile.
What fun! I can't honestly "guess" because I am a former music teacher, my mom plays oboe, and my children both play in orchestras. But as a former tuba player (tubist?), I love this instrument. :)
