every time i'm prepping for an outdoor gig i try using the legere reeds, and every time i decide to just suck it up and deal with whatever my normal reeds throw at me, because the legere just don't have the response or the strength i need. even on the harder one, the open E sinks and the high range is strained and they just lack a sweetness you get from real arundo donax. and it's a damn shame that i can't use them for their main purpose, especially since they were so goddamn expensive

Consequently, certain plant species are more suited to utilize phytoextraction process during phytoremediation of certain metals (Table 1). For examples, Sesbania drummondii for Pb (Barlow et al., 2000), Pteris vittata for As (Salido et al., 2003), Sedum alfredii for Cd (Zhou & Qiu, 2005), Commoelina communis for Cu (Wang et al., 2004), etc. have been found to primarily utilize phytoextraction for several metals. Some plant growth-promoting bacteria, i.e., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Agrobacterium sp are found to multiply the Arsenic (As) phytoaccumulation in Arundo donax (Guarino et al., 2020).

A Look Inside the Oboe Instrument Parts and Their Functions

The oboe has created a distinguished place in the world of music for centuries. Once a staple of the Baroque orchestra, it lent itself to the lively melodies of the era. World-famous composers, including Telemann, Bach, and Handel, often used the oboe in their concerti grossi and orchestral suites.

With the evolution of the musical landscape, this woodwind continued to find its voice. The Romantic epoch witnessed composers like Tchaikovsky and Richard Strauss. They used the oboe's lyrical brilliance in their orchestral pieces.

By the arrival of the 20th century, the oboe's presence grew beyond the concert hall. It found a place in film scores while adding a touch of drama and stirring depth to iconic movies. Modern composers continue to explore the expressive potential of this little gear, pushing the boundaries of its technique and expanding its range.

The Heart of the Sound: The Double Reed

Unlike most woodwind musical instruments that use a single reed, the oboe relies on a double reed. Perhaps, it is the uncontested star of the show alone. Made from a distinctive cane type called Arundo donax, the reed is the soul of the oboe's sound production. Here is how it goes.

The two thin strips of cane are specifically shaped and secured together at their bottom with a metal tube or staple. When the oboist blows air through the mouthpiece, the reeds vibrate against each other. It creates little yet crucial fluctuations in air pressure. These vibrations travel down the length of the gear while exciting the air column within and generating its signature sound.

The importance of double reeds extends beyond the sound show. Its intricate design dominates the tonal characteristics of the oboe. The shaping of the reed tips and overall geometry influence the gear's response, intonation, and timbre. Such an intricate design makes this gear prone to damage and loss due to different unforeseen situations. Therefore, make sure to consider buying a dedicated oboe insurance plan.

The Body of Work: The Joints and Bore

The oboe's body is typically constructed from grenadilla wood (African blackwood) for its density and acoustic properties. Traditionally, other hardwoods like rosewood or boxwood were used. Modern student oboes may be made of composite materials for affordability and durability. The body is disassembled into multiple sections for ease of playing and maintenance.

Upper Joint: This section houses the reed socket. Here, the double reed is inserted. The upper joint also has several tone holes covered by finger keys. Pushing these keys opens and closes the holes, changing the vibrating air column's length. This is how the pitch is produced.

Lower Joint: The longest section, mirrors the upper joint in having tone holes and finger keys. The lower joint's bore, the internal passage through which air travels, widens slightly towards the bell, contributing to the instrument's distinctive conical shape.

Sock Joint: This short section connects the upper and lower joints. It houses additional tone holes and keys.

Bell: In the final section, the bell flares out, projecting the sound outwards and influencing the instrument's overall tonal quality.

The bore, beyond its conical shape, plays a crucial role in the oboe's sound. Unlike the cylindrical bore of a clarinet, the conical design creates a brighter, more focused sound compared to its woodwind cousin.

The Mechanism Behind the Music: Keys and Rod Systems

The oboe has intricate keywork that enables the player to manipulate numerous tone holes with remarkable agility. Modern oboes usually have between 12 and 15 keys, with some advanced models having even more. These keys are connected by a network of rods and pivot screws. Pressing a key utilizes this system, opening or closing a specific tone hole on the body. This intricate mechanism allows the oboist to precisely control the pitch and produce a wide range of musical tones.

The Final Words

The oboe is a work of art. So, when planning to buy this woodwind instrument, do plan a comprehensive oboe insurance coverage. It will protect this masterpiece and your finances in the long run.

Arundo donax is a tall perennial cane. It is one of several so-called reed species. It has several common names including giant cane, elephant grass, carrizo, arundo, Spanish cane, Colorado river reed, wild cane, and giant reed. Arundo and donax are respectively the old Latin and Greek names for reed.

Ару́ндо тростнико́вый, или Тростни́к гига́нтский — вид цветковых растений рода Арундо семейства Злаки.

Арундо тростинний, арундо очеретяний — вид рослин родини тонконогові (Poaceae).

Clade:Monocots

Clade:Commelinids

Order:Poales

Family:Poaceae

Genus:Arundo

Arundo donax grows in damp soils, either fresh or moderately saline, and is native to the Greater Middle East. Arundo is a highly invasive plant in southwestern North American rivers, and its promotion as a biofuel in other regions is of great concern to environmental scientists and land managers. and in New Zealand it is listed under the National Pest Plant Accord as an "unwanted organism". In New Zealand's northernmost region, Arundo donax crowds out native plants, reduces wildlife habitat, contributes to higher fire frequency and intensity, and modifies river hydrology.

Ancient Egyptians wrapped their dead in the leaves. The canes contain silica, perhaps the reason for their durability, and have been used to make fishing rods.

This plant may have been used in combination with harmal (Peganum harmala) to create a brew similar to the South American ayahuasca, and may trace its roots to the Soma of lore.

Ancient Greeks used cane to make flutes, known as kalamaulos, from kalamos ("cane") + aulos ("flute"). A. donax is still the principal source material of reed makers for clarinets, saxophones, oboes, bassoons, bagpipes, and other woodwind instruments.

Интересно, что в норме он везде без белых полос, но видимо это эпигенетический признак вообще не влияющий на видовое определение. В iNaturalist подтвердили, что это описанный выше вид.

The root is diaphoretic, diuretic, emollient and galactofuge. An infusion is said to stimulate menstrual discharge and diminish milk flow. A paste of the root is applied to the forehead to treat headaches. Isolated alkaloids have been experimentally shown to raise the blood pressure and contract the intestine and uterus. The rhizome or rootstock is used in the treatment of dropsy. Boiled in wine with honey, the root or rhizome has been used for treating cancer. The plant contains the alkaloid gramine. This is said to be a vasopressor, raising the blood pressure in dogs after small doses, causing a fall in larger doses. The stems have been used as splints for broken limbs

В сельских регионах Испании на протяжении веков существовала техника строительства, носящая имя каньизо cañizo, использующая прямоугольники примерно 2 на 1 метр тканого тростника, к которому можно было добавлять глину или штукатурку. Крыша из правильно изолированного каньизо может сохранять свои механические свойства более 60 лет.

Week 3 Task 3

At first, I was intimidated by Photoshop and the task at hand. Before entering the workshop I took photos of potential materials as well as sites. I decided on a grassy clearing near my home as it felt familiar. As well as this it reminded me of safety within the the normal or ordinary. I wanted to create a design that could become a place of safety, shelter, and belonging. I began by using a cropped image of glass panelling which was taken from my house. I knew I wanted a triangular design as it was reminiscent of tee-pees. As well as this it continued and transformed the structural forms I created in the previous task. This was important to me because I wanted to begin experimenting with these designs and form a new iterative work. What really stood out to me while using Photoshop was that I could create the work to my desired scale. As in the previous workshop task, I imagined it as a large-scale work but could only create a smaller model.

In this week's task, I used Photoshop on a more basic level but was really happy with what I created. I shaped flat images to create form and dimension using the distort tool. As well as the glass paneling on either side, I added a timbre base and subtle shadowing.

If I were to redo this task from scratch I would consider the sight more further. As in my final image, it feels slightly out of place, as if it was just randomly placed there. If this project was in real life, I would want the form to integrate with the landscape instead of feeling separate from it.

I really enjoyed what I created and it provoked very imaginative thoughts for me. I imagine more specifically, spending rainy days inside the space. Being able to watch distorted drops of rain float past and see animals that have taken shelter. It became a key interest for me within this unit to consider how spatial art can provoke ideas of safety and community. Even on a small scale, the idea is enough to fuel discovery for my practice.

This work provokes connection within its participants. When I consider larger plans for my spatial art practice this is the type of practice that is a key inspiration. Making designs that suit the places users, forming places of imagination and hope. Making people feel at home with these curving wooden lines surrounding them, allowing for the light of the sky to find its way in.

Yoshi Bar is an installation work that becomes a home for a day. A place made by interlocking and intertwining sticks that rely on each other to stay upright. These designs are beautiful, I think I’m drawn in particular to the use of negative space which I try to employ in my own works. This allows for an airy quality within works promoting hopefulness and peace.

La caña o culmo es el tallo de las plantas de la familia de las gramíneas (Poaceae), de morfología generalmente cilíndrica, con entrenudos huecos y nudos macizos. La subfamilia bambusóidea es la que contiene la mayoría de las especies que presentan cañas, y son llamadas bambúes, con una morfología distintiva  por ejemplo, las hojas con vaina y pseudopecíolo-, si bien la más explotada económicamente es la caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum) de la subfamilia panicóidea, y la invasora más conocida es Arundo donax, una arundinóidea, que además se explota y es de la que se extrae la caña de los instrumentos de viento. Las cañas también suelen ser empleadas como material de construcción, en techumbres y amoblados, es alargada como la párate de los hombres. Una comunidad de plantas donde la caña es un miembro dominante recibe el nombre de cañaveral, cañaduzal (de cañaduz o caña dulce) o cañamelar (de cañamiel).

#1784 - Arundo donax - Giant Reed

AKA giant cane, elephant grass, carrizo, arundo, Spanish cane, Colorado river reed, Danubian Reed, bamboo reed, and wild cane.

A perrenial grass growing up to 10m tall in ideal conditions, and easily reaching 8 the rest of the time. Originally native to areas with damp soil (fresh or brackish) eastern and southern Asia, and probably also parts of Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, but now naturalised in many parts of the world, and invasive in some. It’s also highly flammable and tall enough to short out powerlines. A. donax has been nominated as one of the top 100 "World's Worst" invaders by the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group.

The seeds are very rarely fertile - reproduction is almost entirely vegetative, with even short sections of the rhizome soon sprouting into a new clone. 

The stems may be used for musical instruments, building, fishing rods, and walking sticks. Young leaves may be fed to livestock, and older ones used to be used to wrap mummies. The plant is also currently being grown in biofuel, bioremediation, and wastewater treatment experiments.

Join us as we see what's growing along a short, polluted stretch of a world-famous river surrounded on both sides by concrete and train tracks. Though the Grizzly Bears may be long gone, quite a few native plants are still able to call the banks of this toxic waterway home. Along the way we'll see homeless camps, remnants of the world's largest piece of illegal graffiti, a half-assed crash course on c4 photosynthesis, headless pigeons and a wealth of industrial pollutants, as well as the direct descendants of some of the original photosynthetic inhabitants that were present when the Spanish first arrived 500 years ago, still calling this sunny and now smoggy city their home.
