What if a composer writes a composition for an orchestra that has trumpets and flutes and they both have different music scales?
Since those instruments can’t be played in a chromatic scale, what would happen if the trumpet was in the key of Bb and the flute was in the key of G?
In this particular case, do you buy more instruments that are in different keys?

I have that box set entitled “The Complete Jazz at the Philharmonic On Verve” and it’s played on some of those recordings. It has an electronic sound, but that was long before electronic musical instruments were even invented. I’m thinking it must be some kind of muted horn or woodwind.
I am a flutist, but I’m also going to join Jazz Band. There are saxaphones (alto, tenar, barry), trombones, trumpets, etc in my 8th grade Jazz Band. Which would be the easiest transition for a flutist?
The sitar is the stringed instrument of India. Iy is made of gourds and teak wood. The neck is quite long compared to guitars and it has adjustable frets. The sitar is also equipped with TWO sets of strings.
The bottom part of the sitar is has usually around thirteen strings that are called “sympathetic” strings that are used for the rythm or “background” to the top strings. The top usually has from three to seven strings and is used for the “soloing” aspect of the instrument.
The sitar is tuned in fourths or fifths and it gets its name from the Persian words “si” meaning three and “tar” meaning “strings”.
The sound of the sitar to me is a mystical and very reverbative instrument that can really be played without accopanyment of other instruments due to its capability to carry both rythm and solo sounds simultaniously. I love the sound of this instrument.

Music is my passion and my favorite thing in life and eventually want to make a career out of it. However, I don’t know whats available for someone who has an ear for music and knows it very well but isn’t musically inclined. Such as what positions there are at a record label. I would also love to know what I should study / major in at college to prepare me for this.
The electric guitar is generally considered a pop music instrument and is used mainly for pop music, however, there are many electric guitarists who perform classical pieces are are heavily influenced by classical musicians particularly the violinists Paganini and Vivaldi.
What are some of your thoughts about this instrument, its sound and whether it is suited to classical music?
I have that box set called “THe Complete Jazz At The Philharmonic On Verve” recorded in 1948. It’s played on some of those recordings. It has an electronic sound, like an electronic bass kazoo,. But electronic musical instruments weren’t even invented then. So I’m thinking it must be some kind of muted horn or woodwind instrument.
