WHAT TO EXPECT
At Instrument Exchange Inc in Batavia, we’ll help you find the type of woodwind instrument that’s right for your musical needs whether you’re playing with a concert band or simply looking to learn more about this fascinating kind of instrument.
Reed Woodwinds
This type of woodwind produces sound by channeling air directly into a mouthpiece. The force of the air causes the reeds to vibrate and emit its singular sound. Just some of the single and double reed woodwinds we offer are the clarinet, oboe, saxophone, bassoon and many others. Ask the staff at our Batavia location for assistance or call 630-879-2815 for help finding your next reed woodwind instrument.
FLUTEÂ INSTRUMENTS
Flutes are the other main category within woodwinds. This type of instrument makes its sound when a flow air moves over the edge of a hole inside a cylinder in the flute. Flutes are also divided into two different subcategories of open and closed flutes. Open flutes include panpipes, transverse flutes and ocarinas. A closed flute would include organ pipes or recorders.
As you’re considering the fine instruments we carry, here are a few things to keep in mind:
