Edge-blown aerophones
Okay kiddo, have you ever blown into a bottle and made a sound? Edge-blown aerophones are instruments that work in a similar way! They are musical instruments that you blow air through the edge of the instrument to create sound.
Think of it like blowing on a blade of grass to make a sound. In edge-blown aerophones, the air blows across the sharp edge of the instrument, causing the air to split and create vibration in the instrument. This vibration creates sound waves which we can hear as music!
Some examples of edge-blown aerophones are flutes, recorders, and panpipes. They all use the same basic principle of blowing air across the edge to create sound, but they each have their own unique design and sound.
So next time you blow into a bottle, remember you're not just making a silly noise, you're actually making music like a real musician with an edge-blown aerophone!
