A reservoir chamber or reservoir is one of the oldest chambers ever used and is a closed or half opened air chamber that amplifies (or modifies) in some cases make the sound of an instrument. It is used in various types of wind, bow, and percussion instruments, including, Bagpipes, Pungi, Hulusi, Balafon, Maracas, Kora, Shekere, Water drum, Uhadi musical bow, Huluhu[1], and so on. The materials that are used to make a reservoir depends on what instrument it is, most commonly used materials are fabric, gourds, animal skin, and wood[2]. Reservoirs aren't very commonly used amongst instruments but is a unique add-on to an instrument.
History
[edit]Even though the history behind the reservoir chamber isn't very well known, based on some instruments that have it, reservoirs have been around for at least 4,000 years (2,000 BC.) or longer. Continents that use reservoirs include Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America[3].
Modern use
[edit]Since modern instruments don't use reservoir chambers, old instruments that did are being copied and sold all over the world while not being cheap since it is a unique piece of an instrument and makes it what it is[4].
In culture
[edit]Reservoir chambers are a beautiful piece of ancient art and symbolise how beautiful life and nature is and the amount of items you can make out of natural resources. Many places in the world use reservoir chambers.
