| | Baroque Music - Woodwind |
 | | Standard orchestra instrument, also in chamber music and military bands. | | | It is the note A sounded on the oboe to which the rest of the orchestra tune their instruments. | | | From medieval times two methods of producing sound were used: (a) blowing across a round mouth-hole as on the panpipes or transverse (side-blown) flute; (b) blowing into a whistle mouthpiece (end-blown) as on the recorder or flageolet. |

| | From each of the remaining renaissance families of recorders, flutes, and reed instruments, the one most useful size was selected, redesigned acoustically to meet the more expressive needs of baroque music, and fitted with an elaborately turned exterior in the baroque style. | | | The soprano, alto, and tenor sizes were used both independently and in various combinations as solo instruments in concerti and church or secular cantatas, and in chamber music by themselves with or without continuo or with other wind or string instruments. | | | In the recorder world, the alto size became the leading solo instrument for chamber music and concerti, whereas the soprano, tenor, and bass sizes, although still occasionally made, were used far less. |
