vibrating reed sound generator

In one aspect, a reed comb (72) is provided with a common bridge (80) having reeds (74, 76, 78) formed integrally therewith.

Keyboard pipe organs, harmoniums and similar keyboard instruments with free metal reeds

For this reason the distance between the pitches of two reeds must be tuned more accurate then the separate reeds.

A key benefit of this arrangement is to resist leakage of air between the reed plate and the flanks of the reed during harmonica play.

An improved harmonica (2) is disclosed that includes a plurality of reeds (11) and means operatively associated with at least one of the reeds that converts the mechanical vibration of the reed into electrical energy.

Air loss between various components is greatly decreased, and check valves are removed from close proximity with reeds thereby decreasing interference with the reeds, increasing volume and performance, and increasing the resonance of overtones.

Flow varies depending on whether the instrument is flute (wooden pipes) or reeds.

Like our single reeds, Légère oboe reeds have all the depth and warmth that elite players demand.
