Fiddle - A Fiddle is a bowed string musical instrument, most often a Violin. Fiddle is a colloquial term for the violin, used by players in all genres, including classical music. Although in many cases Violin and Fiddle are essentially synonymous, the style of the music played may determine specific construction differences between Fiddles and classical Violins. For example, Fiddles may optionally be set up with a bridge with a flatter arch to reduce the range of bow-arm motion needed for techniques such as the double shuffle, a form of bariolage involving rapid alternation between pairs of adjacent strings. To produce a brighter tone than the deep tones of gut or synthetic core strings, fiddlers often use steel strings. The fiddle is part of many traditional Folk styles, which are typically aural traditions—taught "by ear" rather than via written music.
Flugelhorn - The flugelhorn, also spelled Fluegelhorn, Flugel Horn, or Flügelhorn, is a brass instrument that resembles the Trumpet and Cornet, but has a wider, more conical bore. Like Trumpets and Cornets, most Flugelhorns are pitched in Bb, though some are in C. It is a type of valved bugle, developed in Germany in the early 19th century from a traditional English valveless bugle.
Flute - The Flute is a member of a family of musical instruments in the woodwind group. Like all woodwinds, Flutes are Aerophones, producing sound with a vibrating column of air. Flutes produce sound when the player's air flows across an opening. The standard concert Flute is pitched in C and has a range of three octaves starting from middle C or 1/2 step lower when a B foot is attached. This means that the Concert Flute is one of the highest-pitched common orchestra and concert band instruments. Beginner's flutes are made of nickel, silver, or brass that is silver-plated, while professionals use solid silver, gold, and sometimes even platinum flutes. A musician who plays the Flute is called a Flautist or Flutist
French Horn - The French horn is a versatile brass instrument, known for its rich, mellow tone, circular, coiled tubing, and large, flared bell. It has a wide, 4.5-octave range and is played using the left hand to operate rotary valves while the right hand rests inside the bell for support and tone modification.
