Editing Double reed (section)

==Structure and dimensions==
The size and shape of the reed depend on the type of double-reed instrument which is of two groups, conical and cylindrical.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jähnichen |first1=Gisa |last2=Yoshitaka |first2=Terada |title=Double reeds: Along the Great Silk Road |date=2019 |publisher=Logos Verlag Berlin |place=Berlin, Germany |isbn=9783832548865 |pages=i-vi|series=25th International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) Colloquium, Double-reeds of the Silk Road: The Interaction of Theory and Practice from Antiquity to Contemporary Performance}}</ref> Even within families of instruments, for example, the oboe family, the reed for the [[oboe]] is quite different from that for the [[cor anglais]] (English horn).<ref name="Tsuji and Müller 2021">{{cite book |title=Physics and music: Essential connections and illuminating excursions |first1=Kinko |last1=Tsuji |first2=Stefan C |last2=Müller |date=2021-05-31 |publisher=Springer |place=Cham, Switzerland |isbn=9783030686758 |pages=103, 181-182, 185}}</ref>

Oboe reeds are usually 7 mm (0.3 in) in width, while [[bassoon]] reeds are wider, from 13.5 to 15.9 mm (0.53–0.63 in). Since the width of a reed affects its sound and response, reed makers experiment constantly to achieve the results they desire. Reed length, which broadly affects pitch, is much less consistent globally, as different orchestras tune to different frequencies. Auxiliary double reeds such as [[Cor anglais|English horn]] and [[contrabassoon]] have their own sets of measurements, which are subject to the requirements of the player.
