Things To Know About The Double Reed

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.

Any woodwind player will be able to tell you right away that one of the most important keys to playing instruments like this is to make sure that you thoroughly soak your reeds. Otherwise, you will not even give yourself a chance to play beautifully. You might have to honk and squeak your way through the first few minutes of your practice if you do not allow your reeds to become fully wetted beforehand.

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 can make a great duck call. It is something that plenty of hunters have used as an inexpensive substitute. The great thing about these duck calls is that they can last quite a long time as long as appropriate care and maintenance steps are taken.

There are so many different styles of music that you can play on these instruments. It is so much more fun to play something that you really enjoy. That is why it is best to really take the time to explore and find out what you like before settling on just one genre.

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.

It is good to try out the different brands of reeds. That way, you will find out if you like one better than the other. The most seasoned musicians usually have a brand that they favor, so it might be worth it to ask them.

Going online is one of the fastest and easiest ways to learn more information about this kind of thing. You will have no trouble at all finding online forums where other people who play these instruments make posts all the time. It is the perfect way to connect with others who have the same interest and get to learn and share information.
