🪗Free Reed Instruments

Free Reed Aerophones

Instruments that produce sound using a free-vibrating reed — a thin strip of metal or cane that vibrates freely in a frame when air passes over it.

💡The Chinese sheng, a free reed mouth organ, is over 3,000 years old and inspired the invention of the accordion and harmonica.
