Definizione

  • Reed instruments that are free aerophones are sounded by a flow of air in which the reed is the primary vibrator. The air-stream is directed against a lamella, setting it in periodic vibration to interrupt the stream intermittently. The lamella vibrates through a closely-fitting slot. The instrument is tuned by mechanical action on the lamella. The vibrating air is not confined by the instrument. Each reed may have a resonator in which the air vibrates only in a secondary sense, not producing the sound; generally recognizable by the absence of fingerholes. (en)
