free aerophone

aerophone, any of a class of musical instruments in which a vibrating mass of air produces the initial sound. The basic types include woodwind, brass, and free-reed instruments, as well as instruments that fall into none of these groups, such as the bull-roarer and the siren.

Examples of free aerophones are bull-roarers (a simple instrument that produces sound when it is whirled in the air), mouth organs, accordions, and reed organs. Edge instruments, or flutes, produce sound when an airstream directed against a sharp edge sets an adjoining air column within a tube into regular pulsations.

A free reed aerophone is a musical instrument that produces sound as air flows past a vibrating reed in a frame. Air pressure is typically generated by breath or with a bellows. In the Hornbostel–Sachs system, it is number: 412.13 (a member of interruptive free aerophones).

Examples of aerophones are flutes, trumpets, trombones, tubas, clarinets, saxophones. You must blow into all of these instruments to make a sound. Examples of chordophones are violins, violas, cellos, double bass, harp, guitar, ukulele.

Free Aerophones The bull-roarer is swung in the air to create sound - the pitch of the instrument is determined by the speed of its movement through the air. The mouth organ is a free aerophone in which sets of free reeds vibrate. The vibrating reeds create sound by setting the air into pulsations.

In non-free aerophones, the vibrating air is confined inside of the instrument (eg. ocarinas and bagpipes). Most instruments traditionally referred to as woodwind instruments are non-free aerophones. Free-aerophones instruments are significantly less common than non-free aerophones.

Because free-reed instruments cause sound vibrations in unenclosed air, they are classified as free aerophones (as opposed to pipes).
