CONT

The single reed for the clarinet is made from a slip cut from the stem of "A. donax. "After being trimmed, the reed is flattened on the inner side, while the end of the rounded outer side is scraped down to a feather edge. The thick end of the reed is attached, flat side down, to the mouthpiece by a metal ligature or length of twine. In playing, the thin end of the reed vibrates, alternately closing and opening the space between the reed and the mouthpiece. The vibration carries through the wedged-shaped tone chamber in the mouthpiece and into the air column in the tube.

The carcasses were immediately scalded, feather picked and eviscerated, and then chilled overnight in a refrigerator at 4 degree in order to facilitate the removal of the abdominal pad. The dissection of carcasses was performed according to the procedure described by Jensen(1984), and the abdominal fat pad was removed according to the method outlined by Fancher & Jensen(1989). From one side breast and one thigh plus drumstick of each bird, meat(with skin) was excised and weighed separately. Total meat yields for both breast and thighs(including drumsticks) were calculated as the amount of meat excises xx 2. Weights of the dissected parts of the carcasses and of breast and thigh meat were determined to the nearest 1 g, while those of the abdominal fat pad and organs(liver, heart and gizzard) were measured to the nearest 0.., 1 g. Samples of liver, breast meat and thigh plus drumstick meat were removed and frozen(-20 degree) until analysed.
