Keep us up to date on your discoveries.
You might want to do a patent search with both European and U.S. patents. It could save you some time. |
A vibrating reed does not do what my lips do!
I do not need to suck on my lips or drown them with a glass of water for 5 minutes to get started.
I think that my wife might object if she got a reed instead of a kiss......
A vibrating reed has a finite life - some are even DOA
The reed vibrates, our lips are more like a switch - opening and closing - both lips influence the sound.
Double and triple tonguing are infinitely easier when you don't have the mouthpiece IN your mouth.
Even history is on our side. The saxhorn and keyed trumpet died and reincarnated as a saxophone - why mess with evolution
