A reed is a small wedge of wood, or sometimes plastic, used in instruments like the Saxophone, Clarinet, and Oboe. The reed attaches to the mouthpiece of the instrument where the player's breath causes it to vibrate while they play. These vibrations are what cause the sound to flow throughout the instrument.
