Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Reeds are usually divided into two kinds, the beating, and the free reed.... Both forms possess the elastic tongue; but the beating reed differs from the free reed in that the tongue is made to cover the orifice through which the air passes and slightly to overlap its edges; whereas in the latter it passes freely, as the name implies, though with but little room to spare, past the edges of the slit in which it is adapted.... The beating reed is farther subdivided into single and double varieties, the former represented by the clarinet, and by the usual organ reeds; the latter appearing in the oboe and bassoon.  3, record 2, English, - beating%20reed

Free reed instruments have a reed that does not come in direct contact with the player. The reed is a blade of wood, metal, or other man-made material attached at one end only to a frame so that the blade is free to vibrate when activated by a stream of air passing over it.  3, record 3, English, - free%2Dreed%20instrument

... a free reed is a small strip of material(most commonly of metal, but in some cases made of plastic or vegetable matter such as bamboo)... fixed at one end, but which is set in or over a slot that is fractionally wider than the reed itself. As a result, when pressure(or suction) is applied, the reed swings freely though the slot to set up a vibrating column of air which gives voice to the instrument.  3, record 4, English, - free%20reed
