Everyone in the Internet may buy used woodwinds. Woodwinds musical instruments include: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone and other soul “shakers”. They are named woodwinds because in the renaissance period when these instruments were manufactured people made them from wood. Now timber is used only in the production of some components of these instruments but it still plays a great role in their sounding. There are two sorts of woodwind instruments after the method of blowing: labial & lingual. In labials the air is blown into special lateral hole in the head of the instrument. Pointed brim of the bore separates the air stream. The sound emerges owing to the resonance of air stream inside the tube. Flute refers to this type of instruments. There is a reed in the structure of lingual woodwinds. The air current flows through it. Clarinet and saxophone are related to lingual along with some types of uncommon instruments. The reed is fastened in the upside of the instrument and it becomes the stimulator of the air stream vibration inside the pipe. The reeds are of two types: single and double. A single reed is some kind of a thin cane. The gap in the mouthpiece of the instrument is shut by it so that only a little aperture is left. The vibration of the reed serves to close and open the canal in the mouthpiece of the instrument. Two cane blades are compactly bonded with each other in double reed. Vibration is created by the current of air that shuts and opens the hole between the blades. Oboe and bassoon are concerned to this type of instruments.
