Double reed instruments include:

  • Bassoon
  • Oboe
  • English Horn
  • Bagpipes (An Aerophone, which has a double reed, but that reed never touches your mouth.)
  • Crumhorn (A Capped Reed instrument,which is very similar to an aerophone, but an aerophone is fed air through bags of air; a capped reed you play like a woodwind or brass, where you blow into it.)

What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?

One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.


What wind instruments look like?

In one word, wind instruments look like 'pipes'. They produce sound when air is blown into the instrument. There are wind instruments with no reeds, single reed and double reed.

How do woodwind instruments work?

Wood wind instruments work by making the lips purchase on a reed and making it vibrate. Clarinets and saxophones are single reeded. Oboes and bassoons are double reeded. With single reed instruments, the instrument is held by the upper teeth and the lower lip makes the reed vibrate. With double reed instruments, the double reed is held by the lips only, which make it vibrate. The 'lip holding' is called 'embouchure'. When learning to play the facial muscles about the mouth have to be used. Playing becomes more proficient as the facial muscles strengthen. All instruments have stops/valves on them to alter the note.

What are the different types of blowing instruments and how do they produce sound?

There are three main types of blowing instruments: brass, woodwind, and free reed. Brass instruments, like trumpets and trombones, produce sound by vibrating the player's lips against a mouthpiece. Woodwind instruments, such as flutes and clarinets, create sound by blowing air across a reed or through a mouthpiece. Free reed instruments, like harmonicas and accordions, make sound by air passing through a reed that vibrates.


What are some examples of reed instruments?

What vibrates in the woodwind to make a sound?

In woodwind instruments, sound is produced by the vibration of a reed or the air column within the instrument. In single-reed instruments like the clarinet, a single reed vibrates against a mouthpiece. In double-reed instruments like the oboe, two reeds vibrate against each other. For instruments like the flute, sound is generated by the player's air stream splitting at the edge of the embouchure hole, creating vibrations in the air column inside.

What are the differences between woodwinds and brass instruments in terms of sound production and playing techniques?

Woodwind instruments produce sound by vibrating a reed or blowing air across a tone hole, while brass instruments produce sound by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece. Woodwinds require precise fingerings to change pitch, while brass players use valves or slides. Woodwinds have a softer, more mellow sound, while brass instruments have a brighter, more powerful sound.


What are the main differences between brass and wind instruments in terms of their construction, sound production, and playing techniques?

Brass instruments are made of metal and have a mouthpiece that players buzz their lips into to produce sound. Wind instruments are typically made of wood or metal and have a reed or mouthpiece that players blow air through to produce sound. Brass instruments have a bright and bold sound, while wind instruments have a softer and more mellow sound. Playing techniques for brass instruments involve using the lips and breath control, while wind instruments require precise fingerings and breath control.

What are the different types of reed musical instruments and how are they played?

There are various types of reed musical instruments, including the clarinet, saxophone, and oboe. These instruments have a reed attached to a mouthpiece, which vibrates when air is blown through it. The player uses their breath to create vibrations in the reed, producing sound. The pitch and tone of the instrument can be controlled by the player's embouchure and breath control.
