Things To Know About Double Reed Instruments

By Amy Meyer


There are a number of different instruments that use these types of reeds. The main ones that come to mind for most people would be the bassoon, oboe, and some might even think of the English horn. There are instruments known for their unique and beautiful tones, and the key to it is the double reed that is used.

If you are having trouble getting the kind of tone or volume you want out of your instrument, the problem might be that you are not soaking it for long enough. If you are not already, it might be a good idea to keep a small cup of water on hand for soaking rather than just sucking on the reeds like some woodwind players do. With double reeds, you really have to completely submerge the end that you put in your mouth in order for it to vibrate fully when you are playing it.

Having backup reeds is always a great idea if you do not want to have to be worried the whole time whether or not you will get to play the way you want to. When a reed breaks, there is no other choice but to throw it away. That is why you will definitely want to have as many ready as possible.

This is something that is commonly used in duck calls. This is because it reproduces the natural sound of the animal so well. If you are in need of a quick and efficient duck call, this might be your answer. They are usually not very expensive, and as long as you take good care of them, they will probably last a long time.

When it comes to the music that you can play with these types of instruments, there is practically no limit. You will find all kinds of genres that make use of these instruments. Whether you are into tunes that are classical and more traditional or contemporary, you will find something that you will love to play.

If you are not willing to take the time to practice, you might not be able to get far on these instruments. Like playing music in any form, it takes time and devotion. For people with extremely busy lives, this just might not seem like an option, but you too can do it if you just set aside twenty minutes a day, an hour a week, five minutes here and there, or whatever works for you.

There are all kinds of different brands to pick from, so you will want to try out a few to see what they are like. You might find that one is exactly what you are looking for, while the others do not quite do it for you. Different hardness of the reeds is also a good thing to explore to find what your own personal preference is.

If you have any questions or want to find out more information, going online is always a great idea. There are plenty of websites and forums devoted to these types of instruments. There, you will be able to exchange information with people who really know what they are talking about.
