Orchestra Visit

Today we saw some of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. Each of them told us about their instruments. We saw a flute, piccolo, french horn, oboe, clarinet, bassoon. They were all wood wind instrument except for the french horn, which is a brass instrument. All the wood wind instruments had a reid, a reid makes the sound.  The oboe and the clarinet had double reids which means that there are two pieces of bamboo tied together and they vibrate to make the sound.
