Tenor saxophones, a bigger, more booming or huskier tone than altos and, as such, have become the main voice of blues, rock & roll, swing and commercial  music. Tenor saxophones  also take more airflow but with the right reed and mouthpiece they shouldn’t really be significantly harder work for an enthusiastic beginner. With its rich, smoky tone and warmth, for many people the tenor is the definitive sax sound.  The tenor and the alto are the two most commonly used saxophones. The tenor is pitched in the  key of Bb  (while the alto is pitched in the key of  Eb), and written as a transposing instrument in the treble clef, sounding an octave and a major second lower than the written pitch.  All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard.

The F/Bb full-double horn is the most common and widely used horn today. It includes both the F and Bb "sides" of the French horn (and their respective timbres) within a single instrument.  Brass family  instruments produce their unique sound by the player buzzing his/her lips while blowing air through a cup or funnel shaped mouthpiece. To produce higher or lower pitches, the player adjusts the opening between his/her lips. The brass family can trace its ancestry back to herald French horns, hunting horns, and military bugles. The main instruments of the brass family include the trumpet, trombone, french horn and tuba. The horn or  French horn  consists of about 12 feet of narrow tubing wound into a circle. The player obtains different notes on the horn with a clear mellow sound by pressing valves with the left hand and by moving the right hand inside of the bell.  The French horn has the widest tonal range of all brass instruments. Its extremely rich, soft timbre gives it a special quality somewhere between brass and woodwinds, enabling it to blend well with the sound of many other instruments. It is also one of the more expressive instruments, thanks to the player’s ability to alter the tone and fine-tune the pitch by putting a hand in the bell  All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard.

Straight Soprano Sax vs Curved Soprano Sax  Obviously the first difference is in the look. Some people may prefer the look of one over the other, but the aesthetic difference also contributes to the feel and sound. It’s often said that from the players perspective the curved model gives a more immediate ‘feedback’. This is due to the bell projecting some of the sound back towards you.  It depends on your situation. For example if it’s for a younger player (under 10) then the curved may be the best option as it’s smaller in the hands and might be a good step before the Alto Saxophone.  If you’re already an experienced Alto/Tenor player then compare a straight and a curved back-to-back to feel the differences. Which one do you feel physically comfortable with and which ones sound do you prefer? The soprano is the third smallest member of the saxophone family, which consists (from smallest to largest) of the  soprillo, sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass saxophone and tubax.

The Oboe is a difficult instrument, but worth it!Unlike with other wind instruments, there tends to be an excess of breath. Therefore, there is no handicap for people of a smaller stature. The structure of the keys is also more compact than that of the clarinet or the flute, and players do not need to press on the holes with their fingers directly, so there is no problem for people with small hands. Arguably, people with small hands even have an advantage.  Clear, bright, penetrating, acerbic, keen, biting, rasping, reedy, powerful, robust, full, insistent. The  sound  quality of the  oboe  is very versatile and ranges from the thick notes in the low register to the thin and piercing high notes.   Student oboe models have a simplified key system as they are meant to be a starting instrument. They are basic and made lacking two keys: the left F and low Bb.  Still, it is no less challenging for a beginner. It serves to guide them into the right feel of playing the oboe.  All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard.

A melodic instrument for the most part, the flute has a clear and bright sound with a distinctive warmth, refinement, and subtlety to its tone.   The  open hole flute  does several things; the most useful being the variations and sounds and notes that the player can achieve. The  open hole  allows for micro tones, multi phonics, and slides mainly featured in contemporary or jazz music. It also encourages good overall technique and playing posture.   All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard.

Straight Soprano Sax vs Curved Soprano Sax  Obviously the first difference is in the look. Some people may prefer the look of one over the other, but the aesthetic difference also contributes to the feel and sound. It’s often said that from the players perspective the curved model gives a more immediate ‘feedback’. This is due to the bell projecting some of the sound back towards you.  It depends on your situation. For example if it’s for a younger player (under 10) then the curved may be the best option as it’s smaller in the hands and might be a good step before the Alto Saxophone.  If you’re already an experienced Alto/Tenor player then compare a straight and a curved back-to-back to feel the differences. Which one do you feel physically comfortable with and which ones sound do you prefer? The soprano is the third smallest member of the saxophone family, which consists (from smallest to largest) of the  soprillo, sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass saxophone and tubax. Soprano  saxophones are the smallest and thus highest-pitched  saxophone in common use.  All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard.
