Quadruple reed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A quadruple reed is a type of reed by means of which the sound is originated in various wind instruments. The term "quadruple reed" comes from the fact that there are four pieces of dried palm leaf vibrating against each other, in pairs. The quadruple reed operates in a similar way as the double reed, but produces a different timbre.
