What do you want to know exactly? Here's a little something....

English - German
mouthpiece - das Mundstueck
barrel - die Birne, das Faesschen
upper joint - das Oberstück
lower joint - das Unterstück
bell - der Trichter, Schalltrichter
reed - das Blatt, das Blättchen
ligature - die Blattschraube, die Zwinge
string - die Schnur
lay - dieBahn
key - die Klappe
speaker key - die Registerklappe, Duodezimklappe, Ueberblasklappe
gig - Mucke (Mugga) (musikalische Gelegenheitsarbeit) (Did I spell that right
Ulrich or any other lurking Germans? I've never *seen* it written anywhere -
just heard it a lot.)

The Dutch terms would interest me if any Dutch lurkers care to go for it.....
