Playing Techniques for Double Reed Harmonicas - Coast to Coast Music The double reed tremolo and octave-tuned harmonicas are great for playing traditional dance-type music, including jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas, schottisches, waltzes, other forms that are played in a number of traditions such as Celtic, French-Canadian, Scandinavian and Tex-Mex, and American fiddle tunes. While double reed harmonicas are used in a very wide variety of music making use of many playing techniques, they are particularly well suited for the "vamping" style of play in which tongue block is used, and the melody is played with accompanying vamped chords. Because of the greater number of reed chambers, the notes of the scale are spread further apart laterally on a double reed instrument compared to a standard 10 hole single reed instrument, so playing a double-reed instrument requires more lateral movement than playing a single reed instrument. www.coast2coastmusic.com /double_reed/techniques.shtml   (1415 words)

Double Reed Harmonicas - Coast to Coast Music - Harmonica Lessons, Harmonicas and Accessories Double reed harmonics have note layouts similar to the regular 10 hole diatonic harmonica, except that each reed is doubled, and can be played in a similar manner, except that they are almost always played in first position (the same key as the harmonica). Double reed harmonicas usually have a discrete comb, that means that every reed on the reedplates has its own chamber in the comb. Due to the fact that two reeds are involved the tremolo harmonica takes more wind to play than a single reed harmonica like a standard 10 hole diatonic or a chromatic harmonica does. coast2coastmusic.com /double_reed/index.shtml   (1042 words)

Bassoon Reed and Instrument Theories This article, reprinted from The Double Reed 26/4 (2003), defines, compares, and contrasts the many varying qualities of cane, including hardness, stiffness, resiliency, density, flexibility, resonant frequency, color, and “feel under the tool.” Some disagreement about cane quality is seen to result from the varied reed styles cultivated by individual reed makers. Some reed makers are swash-buckling speed demons, shunning measurements, safeguards, and tedious routine in the heat of the creative moment. In this article, reprinted from The Double Reed 29/2 (2006), this topic is explored, along with the relevance to the bassoon of such acoustical concepts as ancestor fingerings, cross-finger vents, mode shifting, regimes of oscillation, full-system resonances, and overtone compression. koppreeds.com /theories.html   (475 words)

How is my double reed harmonica tuned? These pairs of reeds are either tuned an octave apart, giving a full organ-like sound, or they are tremolo-tuned, meaning that one reed is slightly higher in pitch than the other, giving a wavering shimmering effect. Probably the most common layout for the double reed harps is the Weiner or Viennese system. Although they have the little square holes with one reed per cell, they use a similar tuning to that used by most chromatic harps, covering a range equivalent to a 12-hole chrom, as do some of the longer tremolo harps made by Seydel. www.patmissin.com /ffaq/q15.html   (1029 words)

Double Reed Disorder. 'With most reverent and obsequious apologies to all them that are heavy-laden with bassoon and ... Of course, the aforementioned claim that the two blades of cane (the 'double reed'), which vibrate against each other inside the mouth (to make the sound), are an uphill (up-crook) climb, indeed. It becomes geriatric (often in mid-Mahler) and kicks the reed bucket, thence to be kept neatly aligned with erstwhile, fellow stiffs inside a reed box. The crook (or bocal) is that bit of plumbing between the larger oboes (d'amore, cor anglais or bass), the bassoon (or contra) and the double reed itself. www.mvdaily.com /articles/2005/07/doublereed1.htm   (737 words)
