Wiki / Instruments / Reed
Reed: In these instruments, the tongue is a straw-shaped beam that vibrates when blowing due to air pressure. As a result of this vibration, a sound is formed in the sound tube, which changes the height of the sound produced by the holes in the sound tube. Turkmen, Nizani Mazandaran reed, Kermanshah and Kurdistan reed, Bushehr and Hormozgan reed are single-stringed wind instruments, while Kermanshah and Kurdistan duzele, North Khorasan string, Bushehr and Hormozgan double reed are among single double tongue. Anban reed has a double tongue and an air storage tank that is played in the southern regions of Iran and parts of Kerman. But in Bushehr music, it has a special place. Anban reed in Bushehr is also called Ney Hambooneh and Hambooneh in a local dialect. Appearance: handle: The handle consists of a wooden pod in the shape of a gutter with two tabbed straws inside. These straws are fixed in the handle with the help of wax. Each reed has six holes in the front and their head has a single-layer tab. Anban: Anban consists of the integrated tanned skin of a goat or sheep, which becomes a musk and is used as a place to store air. The neck of the Anban is blinded from the inside. At the location of the hole in one of the handles, a mouthpiece is installed, and in the place of the hole in the other handle, the Anban handle is installed, in which the tabs are also located. The lower part of the shell, like the musk, is assembled and closed from the inside, which has created a conduit for air to enter and exit. Mouthpiece: In the place of blowing and the upper part of the reed tank there is a spool-like object that is the mouth or place of blowing air. The mouthpeice is made of plastic and wood Executive technique: Before playing the instrument, the musician fills the tank with air by dying, and then the instrument handles are placed. The air pressure inside the tank causes the tongue to vibrate and the height and volume of the sound created by changing or opening the holes in the straw’s changes. In fact, the player can make a sound by blowing in the mouthpiece and changing the fingerprints in the reed holes, and at sometimes he can make a sound without blowing and with the help of the air inside the anvil. The tank is placed in the musician's arms and with his arms he removes the air stored inside the tank; So, there is no need to breath back. The sounds created in Anban reed are relative and different sounds are created due to the intensity and manner of fingerprinting in the holes. adminstration: It is used in weddings and celebrations and performances of pieces such as: shaki, wood, hajjuni or dance songs. In the western parts of Bushehr, it is also used in Nativity reading and mourning ceremonies, along with reeds, circles, tonbak and damam.
