text: The double-reed is probably the older of the two forms, at least in Europe and Asia, and was evolved from the simple method of pressing together the end of a hollow straw, as is still done by country children of our own day; but in the Western Hemisphere, if we may draw an inference from the reed-pipes constructed by the Indians living on the north-west coast of America, the single-beating form seems to have been the earlier : for twin single-reeds are still made there with a thin slip of wood between them, and it was probably by removing this partition that the double-reed was obtained.
