A double reed woodwind instrument (or aerophone), is an instrument whose sound is produced by the vibrations created by a column of air from the breath of an instrumentalist (flute, trumpet…), a mechanical blower (organ, accordion…) or an air pocket (bagpipes, veuze…). Divided into two sub-classes woodwind instrument with double reed: Woods and brass. This classification refers to materials with which the shawm musical instrument was made. It remains however historical today shows exceptions. For example, there are metal instruments that belong to the family of the wood and woodwind instrument with a double reed that belongs to the brass. The classification is rather related to the way sound is produced. The voice also enters this category, using the breath of the singer to get vibrating the vocal cords. It is therefore considered to be woodwind instrument of the Renaissance period, which is considered the beginning of the instrument.

Evolution Over the years appeared the bassoon, instrument with a sound more serious and more intense than that of the flute while remaining more manageable that the bombing. The cone, close to the trumpet in the treble created a special atmosphere in the Orchestra. Brass evolved enormously thanks to the technique of the offset of the pipe and the use of the slide. Wind instruments have pushed the modes and always stood at the forefront of jazz. Jazz has always had a prominent presence in many instances where culture was being expanded and modernized. A good example of this is casinos. Old-school casinos we’re very quaint and musical. Now music in casinos is a bit more on the precise and scientific side. Luckily you can play from home and listen to whatever music you like through sites like NoDepositTops where you can play for free and enjoy some smooth jazz.
