flute

The best instrument in the world. People like to make fun of it for the whole American pie thing and how high it is, but they're really just in awe of its supreme glory! You know that saying, about jealous people? Yeah.

Anyway flutes are generally made out of metal (silver, nickel, gold, platinum, alloys, etc) although Baroque flutes are often made out of wood. Flutes can play lower than most people expect.

Did I mention it's prettyful?

One day, flutes will take over the world. Until then I'll just sit here and cry.

english horn

Member of the woodwind family. A double reed instrument. Is NOT a "big oboe". Pitched a fifth below the oboe, in F. In orchestral works, is usually used to convey "sad" emotions. Has a deeper, more mellow sound due to the rounded bell. Is not English, despite the name. It's actually French. This is from a mis-translation of its other name, "cor anglais", which means "angled horn" but can also mean "English horn".

That English horn solo made me cry.

muppets

It's not quite a mop, and it's not quite a puppet.
Characters created by Jim Henson, such as Kermit the frog, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo. Often appear on the PBS show Sesame Street.

It's not easy being green!

piccolo

A musical instrument of the woodwind family. Pitched an octave about the flute. Usually made out of silver, wood, plastic, or a combination. People believe the piccolo can kill with its high pitch, but really, that's part of the piccolo's plan... world domination! Or not.

The piccolo will rule all.

leave it to beaver

A campy 1950s TV show with a perfect family living in suburbia. There's the all knowing father, the happy homemaker mother, the wise older brother, and the goofy and kindhearted younger brother. Often referred to as an example of 1950s quaintness and 'simpler times.' Reruns can be seen on TVLand.

Gee Wally, that's SWELL!
