Wind instruments occurred a very long time ago, in ancient times. The very first are considered flute and avlos, modern oboe. Time has changed them very much, now they are practically not similar to those that were earlier.
Wind instruments are more perfect, both externally and in their functions. They distinguish two groups - copper and wood.
From time immemorial, grouping into two types took place on the basis of materials that were used for manufacturing.
Today it is rare to find a pure woodwind. For example, oboe, clarinet is made of plastic, and a flute is made of metal.
Purely wooden instruments are a rarity, one might say rarity. And copper is not always made of copper; in the modern world, various alloys of metals, such as tin and brass, are used for their manufacture.
Before buying a flute, trumpet or saxophone, you need to pay attention to the material from which they are made.
Let's take a closer look at brass instruments. Their melody and pitch depend only on the musician himself, on what position his lips are in, with what force he blows air.
Such musical support gives any orchestra solemnity and brightness due to its brilliant appearance and loud sound. The most powerful wind instrument is the trumpet, and the most romantic and melodic is the horn. The most popular instruments are trombone, cornet and horns.
They are widely used both in classical orchestras and in modern jazz. Moreover, a jazz orchestra complements such a musical wind instrument as a saxophone.
Basically, all copper instruments define a big point in the finale of a piece of music. Previously, they could only make basic sounds. It was only in the 19th century that a valve system was invented, thanks to which it became possible to change the tonality of the sound, and a concert with the participation of trumpets and cornets became even more elevated. And any wind instrument now sounds much better than before.
Separately, you can consider ethnic instruments. In addition to standard ones, such as trumpet, trombone and others, each nation of the world has its own. The most popular ethnic wind instruments are the bagpipe and flute. There are many varieties of flutes around the world, for example, Chinese hulussi, Armenian shvi, Italian ocarina and many other types.
Unlike modern pop music, it is precisely the playing of wind instruments that will appeal to every person. Since their sound is natural and laid-back. In the hands of a professional musician, a wind instrument is just a magic wand that
raises the mood if the melody is cheerful, joyful, and evokes sadness to the depths of the soul, if sad.
Some esotericists believe that the music played by wind musical instruments has different healing properties. They recommend listening to her every day, this will not only improve health, but also cheer up.
