As a clarinetist, this is completely true. I am a ginger, my middle school band director (a clarinetist) is also ginger, my high school band director (another clarinetist) is blonde, a clarinet professor I've been working with is ginger, my private instructor is Asian, one of my closer friends who also plays clarinet is Asian, the only other clarinet currently is my high school band is blonde, and the principle clarinet in my youth symphony is ginger.

[@Smoke---]

@@AnimTunes you’re good 😂 the violin is tuned a fifth higher than the viola. The viola is slightly larger than a violin and therefore much more difficult to play quickly, but many people greatly prefer the deeper, richer tones of the viola over the violin when playing repertoire from the romantic era for example. I’d recommend searching “Timothy Ridout Ralph Vaughan Williams Suite for Strings” on KZbin or Spotify for an example

What does diatonic mean

[@paxwallace8324]

@@user-mj3os7yj3c 🙋😅🤣It strictly means belonging to a particular key or major scale. ie no notes or accidentals outside the key. In a less strict sense it means not veering too far from the key or it's Diatonic partners. It also normally implies tonal harmony as opposed to modal or blues harmony. Folk, country pop and kids music is normally diatonic. Jazz, Classical, and Film music is often not diatonic music.
