AI Technical Summary
Existing sound-producing double reeds for musical instruments, particularly woodwind instruments like oboes and bassoons, are manufactured in multiple parts, leading to complex production processes and negatively affecting their tone-generating properties.
A one-piece, monolithic design for the double reed is achieved through plastic injection molding, using a composite material comprising thermotropic liquid crystal material, thermoplastic polymer, and mineral filler, allowing for a single manufacturing step and improved tone-generating properties.
The one-piece design simplifies manufacturing and enhances tone-generating capabilities by eliminating component interfaces, with adjustable material compositions for optimized acoustic performance.
