Donald,

I appreciate your post. I know the topic has often been touched on before - and the image of blowing an air stream through the instrument might help in some contexts for some people...but I found your wording and example to be thought-provoking.

The amount of air fitting between the reed and the mouthpiece (in total measure) couldn't be much more than what we could blow through a small drinking straw, could it? (Regardless of how hard we blow.)

At any rate - it can't amount to much measured volume.

I would think this to be true for most/all wind instruments - otherwise, how could a bass saxophone be played by a human? It must be the vibrating air column produced by the reed, right? (And not the air being "blown through" the instrument).

I don't want to derail this thread, but did want to thank you for the post - I think it addressed (what can be) a difficult topic and made it very easy to understand.

Thanks,
Fuzzy
