[One] type of flute is a globular flute, also called a vessel flute. "Ocarina" is a common name for one of the most common types of globular flutes. Unlike their tubular flute cousins, globular flutes can be any shape, but still have finger holes and a blow hole, and are played in generally the same fashion as a tubular flute.... The physics of sound production is significantly different between tubular and globular instruments. In a tubular instrument, a vibrating column of air produces the sound. The length of this air column is the primary factor determining the pitch. However, the pitch can be modified by uncovering toneholes along the body of the instrument, which effectively shorten the length of the air column and raise the pitch. But with globular instruments, the shape of the air contained within the vessel is generally irrelevant to the pitch. It's the total volume of air contained in the vessel and the size of the opening that determines the pitch. 2, record 1, English, - globular%20flute

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. 4, record 2, English, - single%20reed

On entend par emboutissage la mise en forme d'une feuille de métal généralement plane, appelée flan, en une pièce creuse de surface non développable, la déformation ayant lieu, tout au moins théoriquement, à surface, donc à épaisseur constante. Ce travail est exécuté à l'aide d'un outillage spécialement créé pour la pièce, et monté sur une presse. [...] Les pièces embouties en alliage d'aluminium sont nombreuses et de formes très variées. Les plus faciles à fabriquer sont les pièces à parois latérales perpendiculaires au flan, le fond étant ou non mis en forme, dans lesquels la tôle est maintenue pendant toute la durée de l'opération entre le poinçon, qui est à la forme intérieure de la pièce, et la matrice, qui est à la forme extérieure. 3, record 14, French, - emboutissage
