The double reed gouger, is a machine that has been used as a means to accurately and effectively remove excess material from within the concave structure of the split and measured double reed cane. This machine process is essential to the production of the double reed, when inserted into applicable instrument, is able to reproduce a specific vibration from within the cane to enable the player to easily and without much effort perform notes with ease of vibration and accuracy of pitch. The double reed gouging machine particularly for the Oboe, Oboe Damore, English horn and Bassoon Family of instruments is in need of major upgrades to it's usefulness, accuracy and comfort by way of modern machining and design. This is a continuation of such efforts.

A reed includes: a reed main body having a plate shape, the reed main body including a fixed part fixed to a mouthpiece, and a vibrating part that extends from the fixed part and vibrates; and a sensor part that is disposed inside the vibrating part or on an inner surface of the vibrating part, the inner surface of the vibrating part facing the mouthpiece, the sensor part comprising an effective sensor portion that detects vibration of the vibrating part.

The present specification relates to a sound-generating reed for a wind instrument which contains at least one thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer.
