This is why we designed an application that supports both brass and woodwind instruments.
Let’s dive together into the nuanced ocean of wind instrument opportunities which tonestro has to offer.

There are many types of wind instruments, there are also many different types of clarinets, thus, one saying that they’re good at playing it would be ambiguous.

Saxophone
Created and patented in the 1840s in Belgium, the saxophone shares many similarities with the clarinet. It is a popular instrument with a single-reed mouthpiece and many holes which the player closes while playing, thus, controlling the volume and the sound.
It is widely used in classical music, orchestras, military and marching bands, and jazz.

Horn
The French horn is made of a metal curved tube and with two ends – one narrow from which the player blows, and one wide end from which the sound emerges. As similar is it is to the trumpet, the sound here is conical, not cylindrical.
This wind instrument finds its practice mostly in jazz and in the army (we’ve all seen action movies where protagonists call for aid while blowing a horn). As simple as it may seem at first, producing good sounds takes skills, which are difficult to be obtained. Not to mention that finding a good private teacher at a convenient hourly rate might be a pain in the neck. What if we told you that there’s a solution to this?

Euphonium
The euphonium is a cousin of the trumpet – a brass instrument that derives its name from Ancient Greece and is almost identical to the baritone. Both are large conical-bore valved instruments famous for their wide acceptance in various military marches due to its high tone and volume. As with the French horn, the flugelhorn, and the tuba, the tubing of the euphonium and baritone gradually increases in diameter throughout its length. This, in turn, results in a majestic, yet gentle sound, highly appreciated in the world of music and of wind instruments.
People able to play the euphonium and the baritone are something rare, as they’re truly capacious instruments which require a lot of dedication and hard work. Additionally, private lessons might be pretty expensive and time-consuming. This is why we’ve launched the world’s first educational app for euphonium and baritone. One can download the euphonium app, practice these two instruments for free, and develop their skills without leaving the cozy spot on their coach. Ready? Let’s rock.
Trombone
The trombone is a widespread wind instrument in the brass family. Its origins came from Europe and it became widely used during the Renaissance period. The trombone’s name is derived from Italy and means “Large Trumpet”. Unlike the rest of the valved instruments, this one has a cylindrical bore and it differs in its sounding. In contrast to its rough visual appearance, the large trumpet’s sound is very melodic and this led to it being widely used in romantic works.
Our tonestro app supports the Trombone, too. Anyone can download it for free, practice, have fun, and learn how to improve their skills. With our trombone app, one can quickly grow from a beginner to a renowned trombonist legend. How cool is that? Download our app, and start improving.
Tuba
The tuba is the largest and, at the same time, the lowest-pitched musical wind instrument in the renowned brass family. Like the rest, its sound is produced from a lip vibration. It is patented in Prussia in 1835 and is known to be used mostly in the military during ceremonies. Due to the addition of valves to it, the tuba has a uniquely low-pitched tone, applicable for harmonic music.
However, it takes a lot of experience and time for one to play it like a professional. This is why we are here to help! With our latest app, playing brass and woodwind instruments has never been easier. This is the ultimate tool for one to practice, learn, and develop at playing the tuba without having to leave the comfort zone of their home or having to pay a fortune for private lessons.
