Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Slovenian: saksofon

Answer: Saxophone

The saxophone has similar fingerings to the clarinet, but it is usually gold in color and curved.

2. Serbian: bas

Answer: Bassoon

The bassoon is sometimes called the 'farting bedpost' as it is quite tall. It does, however, have some GORGEOUS low notes that are very rich.

3. Norwegian: cello

Answer: Cello

To play the cello, you need to place it between your legs, unlike the violin or viola.

4. Welsh: chwibanogl

Answer: Flute

The flute is a woodwind although it has no reed. This is because the flutes were originally made of wood.

5. Swedish: fiol

Answer: Violin

The concertmaster of an orchestra is usually the first chair violinist. This person gives the 'note' that is used to tune the orchestra before the ocncert.

6. Croatian: bubanj

Answer: Drum

7. Finnish: klarinetti

Answer: clarinet

The clarinet is a very 'flexible' instrument in all sorts of music and clarinets (of various sizes) can play all different ranges.

8. Icelandic (without the accent marks): basuna

Answer: Trombone

The trombone is one of the few brass instruments that has no valves - it uses a slide to make the tubes longer or shorter depending on the note.

9. Norwegian: trommen

Answer: Drum

10. Slovenian: oboa

Answer: Oboe

The oboe is the best instrument although it is not quite popular in the number of people who play it. Oboes and English Horns are used in a lot of classical pieces and can be heard in many scores for movies. It looks a bit like a clarinet, but uses a double reed to produce sound.
