A. The instrument I chose is the clarinet.
B. The clarinet is part of the woodwind family because it was originally made of wood and uses a reed. It's kind of in between as the clarinet can play both incredibly high and low notes.
C. The clarinet has definitely been around for a long time. One clue to this is that it was originally made of wood and it wouldn't have originally been made of wood if it was made recently because most instruments are made with metal now and wood in the past.
D. The high notes can kinda sound like a bird, as they can be very very high pitched, but at the same time the low notes sound a bit like a fog horn but much more musical!
I hope that helps!! :)
