Timpani- only drum that produces definite pitches, Italian for “kettle drum”, you use a pedal to tighten/loosen top to change pitch. Cymbals- two round metal plates, create clashing sounds when struck, range of loud and soft sounds.

  6. Woodwind Flute- 2 feet long, high pitch Oboe- low sound Clarinet- can play many notes quickly Alto Saxophone- only woodwind instrument made of brass, considered a woodwind instrument because it has a single reed.
