There is a thumb hole and seven finger holes on the chanter. Types of bagpipes The most well-known bagpipe, Great Highland Bagpipe, overshadows many other types of bagpipes. There are bagpipes widely spread throughout Middle East and Europe. Even though there was a drastic decline of the other kinds, there was a revival in more recent times. There are larger but rarer types of the crumhorn that widens the range by one to two notes down through auxiliary holes. Possible origins and early use In Europe, the crumhorn was used in the 1300 s to the 1600 s. It is said to originate from the chanter of bagpipes and the bladder pipe. These could have been possibly played at the court of England s King Henry the Eighth because he owned twenty-five pieces of the instrument. History The creation of the banjo can be traced back centuries. The origin of the very first versions of the banjo is indefinite. In the Mideast, Far East and Africa, it was common to see strings stretched across drums made of animal hide. The first written citation of a banjo-like instrument is credited to Richard Jobson, an explorer. In the years that have passed, the bass guitar s design had many design changes. Here are a few classic bass guitars. The Hofner was played by Paul McCartney although not expensive or outstandingly made. The Fender Jazz started in 1960 with a slimmer shaped neck and two pickups while the Fender Precision was introduced in 1951 with a slab body and one pickup. Nowadays, it is played in opera, symphony orchestra, and in contemporary musicals. Structure There are six major pieces of the bassoon. The bell extends upward. The tenor joint connects the bell and the boot which is at the bottom of the instrument. Fourth is the wing joint which is from boot to crook in length while fifth is the crook, a metal tube that joins the reed and wing joint. These are hand-held and produce clicking or rattling sounds used for rhythmic accents. Castanets are also played in the orchestra. At times, these are fastened to the handle or placed on a base forming machine castanets. Playing the castanet in the Spanish style is very rare in the modern orchestra. This is not because it is very complex to master and apply but because there are no more than four known professional castanet players all over the world.
