Dilating reeds without fingerholes
type: Concept
broader: Dilating reeds
definition: The air itself is the vibrator in the primary sense. The standing waves are significantly confined within the instrument itself. The column of air is made to vibrate by the intermittent flow of an air stream produced by means of one or more longitudinal slits in a grass or similar stem. There are no fingerholes.
