Actually the Oboe belongs to the woodwind family of instruments. I'm not sure what the question refers to specifically. The Trumpet is a brass instrument and the Clarinet is a woodwind, so in that sense the trumpet could be considered the "odd one". However, these three instruments can sound absolutely wonderful together in a small wind ensemble. They can also be complimented nicely by piano accompaniment. So please don't count the trumpet out just because it's a brass instrument and the other two are woodwinds.
the oboe because it is a string instrument and the rest are not

What are the other members of the woodwind family. What is the difference between the clarinet and other woodwind instruments?
The orchestra's woodwind SECTION is comprised of four FAMILIES of instruments: the flutes, the oboes, the clarinets and the bassoons. Each of these families will, in turn, have different members (or sizes) of instruments. For example, the flute family has (from smallest to largest) 4 main members: the piccolo, the flute, the alto flute and the bass flute. There are others as well (like the contrabass flute), but you'd rarely see them in a concert orchestra (but, maybe in a film score). The other families have different members as well. OBOES: the oboe, the English Horn, the bass oboe, CLARINETS: clarinets in Eb, Bb, A, Eb alto, Bb bass clarinet, Eb and Bb contrabass clarinets, BASSOONS: the bassoon and contrabassoon. There are two main differences between the different woodwinds: 1) their reeds (the part that makes the initial sound) and (2) their shape and composition. The flute has a blowhole as its "reed" and takes a fair amount of breath to play (but nowhere near as much as brass instruments). The body of the flute is cylindrical, giving it a round tone, and silver making it bright. The clarinet has a cylindrical body as well, giving it a round tone as well and is usually made of wood or ebony making the tone "darker" than the flute. However the clarinet has a single reed (like a saxophone) which is somewhat difficult to control making it more difficult to play in tune than the other woodwinds. The oboe and bassoon families are double reed instruments. Their reeds are doubled back on themselves and have a fussy (or particular) embouchure. They take a smaller amount of air to sound but need a lot of pressure (especially the oboes). The shape of the body of the double reeds gets wider along the length of its resonator (the tube) which results in more odd harmonics - making the instruments somewhat nasal in timbre.
Clarinet is what kind of instrument?
A Clarinet is a straight instrument in the woodwind family. The most common clarinet is called a Bb (B flat) clarinet. Next to the bassoon, the clarinet has the largest pitch ranges.A Clarinet breaks down into 5 sections:The mouth pieceThe barrelThe upper jointThe lower jointThe bellIn order to make sound, a clarinet requires a single reed (other instruments in this family, such as an oboe, require a double reed), commonly made from cane. The air rushing past the reed causes it to vibrate, making a sound.Reeds come in different thicknesses on a grade of 1-5. 1 being the easiest to play, 5 the hardest. However, a better sounding noise will come from a grade 5 reed.
Why is the flute the odd one out in the woodwind section?
Unlike other woodwinds, you hold a flute sideways to play it. Most woodwinds are held in front of the musician when being played.
Does the clarinet play piano music written in the key of C?
The question is worded vaguely, but: A good clarinet player can READ and PLAY piano music (of course excluding chords & notes outside of the clarinets range). If the music is WRITTEN in the key of c, played directly on the clarinet, it will SOUND in the key of Bb (B flat). Therefore, the clarinet is considered a "Bb instrument," along with bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet; soprano, tenor and bass saxophones, trumpet and a few other odd instruments. Music for these "transposing" instruments must be rewritten or transposed in the key of D in order to sound in the key of C. Hope that helps, ZoeyStLeopard
How can you make a flute sound like a tuba?

Should a trombone be included in a woodwind quintet?
*Info* I'm in the 7th grade, and in a quintet with an oboe, french horn, clarinet (not bass), a trombone, and I play the bassoon. I've been looking for almost a week and have yet to find any music with our odd combination. Should I simply transcribe a flute to trombone, or replace the trombone with a flute? ==================================================== For a true woodwind quintet, you would need to omit both the trombone and the french horn. These are not woodwind instruments. But to answer your real question, (in my opinion) you would probably be better off ditching the trombone and bringing in a flute.

What is a flute classified as?
A woodwind instrument. Because it used to actually be made of wood, and there's no where else to stick it it. It's sort of the odd instrument, because it doesn't REALLY fit in any where.
What is the difference between oboe reeds and English horn reeds?
An English horn is longer and has a lower, mellower sound. It has a bulbous bell, instead of a conical bell. Also, the English horn is in F instead of C. The English horn has a double reed like the oboe, but it does not go directly into the instrument. It has a small metal pipe that connects the instrument to the reed; called a bocal (like the bassoon). Also, the reed itself is shorter and wider. Unlike the oboe reed, there is no cork, just a brass tube called a staple. The fingerings are the same, but the keys are spaced apart more, so some people might not be able to reach them.
What are some famous songs for the clarinet?
Well, that depends on what you mean by popular. One popular song today is Acker Bilk's Stranger on the Shore. Here are some very popular works of the clarinet's CLASSICAL repertoire: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, Clarinet Quintet Gioachino Rossini: Introduction, Theme and Variations Carl Maria Von Weber: Clarinet Concertino, Clarinet Concerto No. 1, Clarinet Concerto No. 2, Grand Duo Concertant From the JAZZ repertoire: Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue (only the intro, but it is one of the most well known clarinet excerpts EVER) Artie Shaw: Clarinet Concerto pretty much anything by Benny Goodman Jérome Thomas: Moonlight Serenade And CONTEMPORARY repertoire (a very odd genre of music, in my opinion, but whatever floats your boat): Donald Martino: A Set for Clarinet (arguably the hardest song written for Clarinet) Stravinsky's Three Pieces for Clarinet Smith's 5 pieces for Clarinet Berio: Sequenza for Clarinet Nielsen Clarinet Concerto (This is also considered classical, but many contemporary elements as well) Copland Clarinet Concerto ( This has a few jazz elements, but ultimately Copland's effort to write a "Jazz Concerto" for Benny Goodman was a failure, and while it is popular, it is definitely not jazz, although it contains a few jazz and classical elements)
