Reed Flute
Other Names: Bamboo Pipe | |||
Type: Wind | |||
Origin: Unknown | |||
In Redwall: Gonff used a reed flute in Mossflower. The flute (although not necessarily the reed type) is probably the most popular instrument on the ROC. | |||
Appearance: The reed flute is a very simple instrument that looks much like a recorder, except with a softer tone. It's made out of a sturdy, large reed, typically bamboo, although other strong reeds can be used as well. They can be very ornately decorated or not decorated at all. | |||
Use: The bamboo pipe is played much like a recorder. Air is blown softly into the mouthpiece, though not overblown as that can cause an ear-splitting, high-pitched sound that's most unpleasant to hear. The fingering is not difficult, although attaining chromatics can be. | |||
