Best Answer

it makes it so it doesnt squeek

_____________________________________

Incorrect! The reed will MAKE the instrument squeak if played incorrectly. The reed vibrates very fast on the instrument, which creates the sound. You cannot play a woodwind instrument without the reed (if the instrument requires a reed).I play Flute so i wouldn't know much-but this is what i know:The instuments that require a reed are saxaphones and clarinets have one reed the bassoon and the Oboe have an double reed.It is not true that it doesnt manke it squek because the reed is what makes it squeak!But the reeds purpose is to make the noes come out,and its where your mouth goes!

The reed is the main part; without it, you cant play the instrument. It allows you to blow through the Clarinet to make the noise.
