Question

question 1 of 10
which instrument has an enclosed reed and produces a buzzing sound?

a. recorder

b. crumhorn

c. reed organ

d. shawm

Explanation:

The crumhorn is a Renaissance musical instrument with an enclosed reed (the reed is inside a windcap) that produces a characteristic buzzing or nasal sound. A recorder is a fipple - flute (uses a fipple instead of a reed), a reed organ has free - reeds (not enclosed in the same way as a crumhorn's reed) and a shawm has an exposed reed. So the instrument with an enclosed reed and a buzzing sound is the crumhorn.

Answer:

B. Crumhorn
