Information About

Playing Range




"Range" sometimes refers just to the size of the range, as in "A horn has a greater range than a trumpet."

While most Woodwind Instrument have no upper limit of their range, most cannot go below their designated range, but this is not the case for Brass Instrument s. All brass instruments can play beyond and below their designated range, and these notes are called Pedal Tone s. Notes higher than the brass instrument's designated range are called Screech Note s. In this case, the playing range of a brass instrument depends on both the technical limitations of the instrument and the skill of the one playing it.
