Unreferenced date July 2009 Reedless wind instruments are wind instrument s that do not have moving parts in their mouthpieces. Wind instruments are often characterized by their number of Reed instrument reeds , which is typically zero, one, or two. Reedless wind instruments typically have no moving parts other than the wind air itself. Examples include the flute , ocarina , recorder , tin whistle , and Calliope music calliope steam whistles . Categorization by number of reeds 0 reeds Instruments such as the flute, or whistles, that have zero reeds typically have a fipple mechanism, or some similar sharp edge against which air is blown 1 reeds Instruments such as the saxophone that have one reed 2 reeds Instruments such as the oboe that have two reeds that beat against each other, rather than a single reed that beats against a mouthpiece. Purest form of wind instrument Under the Hornbostel Sachs classification system, reedless wind instruments are aerophones in the most pure sense that there are no moving parts other than the air itself, and thus the attribution of the sound source is wholly the air. Whereas a clarinet functions mostly as a wind instrument aerophone , some percentage of the sound production may be attributed to the beating of the reed, which, although not considered an idiophone, does contribute, to a slight degree, non aerophonic components to the initial sound production. In reedless wind instruments the solid matter from which the instrument s body is made takes on the role only of containing the fluid air that makes the sound. Reedless water instrument Whereas wind instruments use compressible fluid air , a new category of instruments, called hydraulophone s, use less compressible fluid water . Hydraulophones in their most pure form, are reedless. These are called waterflutes. Other hydraulophones have one or more reeds, which vibrate in a stream of water.
