The terms sounding range, written range, designated range, duration range and dynamic range have specific meanings.. The sounding range [3] refers to the pitches produced by an instrument, while the written range [3] refers to the compass (span) of notes written in the sheet music, where the part is sometimes transposed for convenience.
The contrabassoon is a very deep-sounding woodwind instrument that plays in the same sub-bass register as the tuba, double bass, or contrabass clarinet.It has a sounding range beginning at B ♭ 0 (or A 0, on some instruments) and extending up over three octaves to D 4, though the highest fourth is rarely scored for.

Measured from its lowest to its highest playable note, the baroque alto recorder has a range of at most two octaves and a fifth with many instruments having a smaller range. Even the most developed instruments of the period, however, cannot produce the augmented tonic, third and fourth of the third octave.
Since the clarinet has a wider range, the lowest note of the B ♭ clarinet is significantly deeper (a minor sixth) than the lowest note of the oboe. [9] Music for the standard oboe is written in concert pitch (i.e., it is not a transposing instrument), and the instrument has a soprano range, usually from B ♭ 3 to G 6.
A register is the range within pitch space of some music or often musical speech. It may describe a given pitch or pitch class (or set of them), [1] a human voice or musical instrument (or group of them), or both, as in a melody or part. It is also often related to timbre and musical form. In musical compositions, it may be fixed or "frozen".
Woodwind instruments are a family of musical instruments within the greater category of wind instruments. Common examples include flute , clarinet , oboe , bassoon , and saxophone . There are two main types of woodwind instruments: flutes and reed instruments (otherwise called reed pipes).
The flute's highest pitch is usually given as C 7 or (in more modern flute literature) D 7. More experienced flautists are able to reach up to F ♯ 7 , but notes above D 7 are difficult to produce. Modern flutes may have a longer foot joint, a B-footjoint , with an extra key to reach B 3 .
