What is a double Reed instrument? A double reed instrument refers to an instrument that has two reeds made of cane that produce a sound by vibrating. Double reed instruments do not have a typical mouthpiece with which we are familiar. Examples of these are the oboe and the Bassoon.
Most of the reed instruments that we are familiar with are single reed instruments such as the clarinet and saxophone. Single reed instruments are those that have a reed made of cane attached to a mouthpiece.
We are very excited about our recent interest in double reed instruments at Zora Ellis and THS. We have several students that have chosen to begin oboe and bassoon this year. They are dedicated and off to a very good start. Each friday Eric, an oboe student from Jacksonville State University, travels to Talladega to give lessons to these very enthusiastic students. We are very thankful for the hard work of the students and the connection of such an outstanding institution such as that of Jacksonville State University.
