reed

A reed is a flat metal strip on a Wurlitzer piano that is struck by a hammer to generate a tone. On each reed is a pyramid shaped section of solder which allows the reed to be tuned. The heavier the reed, the lower it is in pitch, and vice-versa. It is attached to the reed-bar which acts as a pick-up, which then sends the signal to an amp or speaker.
