I'd have to go for the flute, cause the sound is so pure and rounded out.I don't know, maybe its just me, lol!

I would say clarinet..its great! But i also love the sound of the saxaphone!

I voted oboe because I love the sound, but I wish I could have voted twice because I love the clarinet too- it's just so versatile, and I love the way you can ply it really really quietly!(Mozart's Clarinet Concerto- aaaaahhhhh )

yey clarinet all the way!

oboe is beautiful but i love my clarinet too!

Hi!

My favorite woodwind instrument is the piccolo. I like it the most beacause of my main instrument, the bass tuba. It´s nice to switch between them, as it makes a very good contrast(when I get bored of practicing the tuba, I just switch and play the piccolo, trying to extend my range). I just love this instrument!

How could anything compare with the clarinet. It's brilliant!!!!!

vote clarinet vote clarinet!!!lol

Clarinet is definately the best. I love the sax too. i just wish i ahd more time to practice. I dot know if you feel this, but do u ever doubt your abilities on your instruments.

I am always being asked ot play for people but i seem to always say no, as i don think i can do it?

i'd prefer the flute, although i don't know how to play it...

I like the cor anglais (tenor oboe) with its rich low tone but as an oboe player I do like the sound of a normal oboe as well.

Try listening to the Largo from The New World Symphony by Dvorak this is probably one of the well known pieces written for cor anglais.

My son starts clarinet lessons in two weeks which I think is really exciting for him. I hope he enjoys it as much as you all seem to.

im sure he will love the clarinet Lucia!!!

not a big fan of the clarinet myself!

I voted for the flute because I love playing it but my friend plays the clarinet and I think it has a lovely sound. Do you play the piccolo the same as you play the flute, or is the fingering a bit different?

The fingerings the same for the flute and picc its your embouchure that you have to change!

Tell me about it Im doing grade 8 in June!! Dont get me started on scales!! Im really annoyed coz I can do them all apart from the diminished sevenths!!! Amyony got a good way to remember them?!

ignore that post i did something weird!!

Just learn the patterns, they're all the same.

ah the post didnt come so errr ignore the other post!!

I'd have to vote bassoon, i'd love to play it but i think carrying round a full size cello at under 13 is enough for me! ( or should i say for my arms!)

The clarinet follows straight after in second place though!

Hi. My fav instrument is the clarinet.

IT ROCKS

MATT

hail the FLUTE!!!!

thats my instrument

unhappy... why there is no Recorder.......

anyway, Clarinet also make good feeling on me... I do play Clarinet in Orchestra, and they sound great...

Well am gonna say SAXOPHONE all the way coz no one else has!

How could a higher % of people prefer the oboe to the sax?

I play both and think that sax is definately the better: it is easier, has a much better repertoire, and is just altogether great and much better to the oboe.

I also feel sorry for the double basson, with 0%! Is it really that bad or does no one play it?

aw the sax only has 10% ! i like teh sound of my clarinet best but my sax is just more fun

I like the sound of the clarinet, and I play it, but I'm not very good at it yet.
