Abstract
A synthetic reed for use in reed-blown wind instruments such as the clarinets, saxophones, oboes and bassoons may be made from an oriented thermoplastic material such as uniaxially or biaxially oriented polypropylene. The reed may be machined from an oriented-polymer blank which in turn has been cut or stamped from an oriented-polymer sheet of the appropriate thickness.
