Hello there, I had previously had a fife as my first instrument and I really did quite like it but the biggest problem was its limited range. I couldnt play the low notes at all (its lowest note was a middling pitch C(No I dont know the exact term, sorry)), and the notes one octave higher required overblowing which was very hard to play, and sounded terrible.
Im wondering now if there are other simple woodwind instruments with large ranges. Obviously if you want the full full range then get a keyboard but I dont want a keyboard, I want a woodwind.
This question is of course very uninformed, that is because I dont know much about music in general. (most websites and instrument shops seem to assume you already know your stuff which I dont.)
