Membrane Reeds
Membrane reeds are wind instruments, functioning in a manner analogous to the way other reed instruments work, but with a small membrane serving the airgating function normally served by a cane reed. They work great, and they re wonderfully simple to make. In this video Bart Hopkin explores several variations on the idea. This video doesn t go into much depth on the acoustics and the howtobuild; you can find more of that in the accompanying article posted here: Added note from Bart: After uploading this video, I learned that Nicolas Bras had already done a video on the same topic, which you can see here: Like all his work, it s very well done; highly recommended Meanwhile, to see many more of my own instruments, visit the instrumentarium at or look for other videos in this YouTube channel.
