text: For instance, an oboe (a small double-reed instrument with a high pitch range) is perceived as having a 'bright' timbre; a bassoon (a large double-reed instrument with a low pitch range) is perceived as "mellow", a clarinet (a single-reed instrument with a very wide pitch range, but a cylindrical bore, which produces a sound that lacks power in the even harmonics) has a timbre which changes so much through it's range that different terms have been assigned to them: the lowest range is "Chalumeau", often described as "boxy" or "hollow", the notes using the keys closest to the mouthpiece is "Throat range" and often sounds muffled compared to the ranges on either side, the next range is called "clarino", because of its piercing tone (like that of a clarino trumpet), and the highest, which is classified as "shrill and piercing" is called altissimo, from Italian for "highest".
