Definition

  • The air itself is the vibrator in the primary sense. The standing waves are significantly confined within the instrument itself. The air-stream passes through the player's vibrating lips, so gaining intermittent access to the air column which is to be made to vibrate. The body of the instrument is a whole tube that is neither curved nor folded. The instrument is end-blown, and has no mouthpiece. Some alphorns. (en)
