Title A name given to the resource Reed box tone-tool Subject The topic of the resource Free Music Description An account of the resource Steel, brass, wood, accordion reeds, blower fans, linear bearings. In their original Reed box experiments, Grainger and Cross approximated the effect of gliding musical pitches by using closely-spaced microtones. They detuned harmonium reeds to microtonal intervals, using tape to weight the reeds. They then used a wooden waveform on rollerskates to control the motion of air from a vacuum cleaner blowing through the reeds. Cross later introduced electronic oscillators to create smoother gliding tones. This scaled-down version uses accordion reeds, also detuned by tape. Blower fans take the place of the vacuum cleaner and linear bearings streamline the design.
