A piece of the clarinet is called a barrel.
The Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) indicates in its dictionary that barrelete is the diminutive of barrel . A barrel , meanwhile, is a container that is used for the storage, treatment and/or transfer of various goods and liquids.
Returning to the term kite, it has different uses according to the region and context. The first meaning mentioned by the RAE refers to a tool that carpenters use in order to secure the materials they are working on a bench .
A very useful utensil
The barrel is the device that allows the material to be worked to be held to the workbench . It has two jaws that can be adjusted by turning a screw, which can then press the part located in the tool .
It should be noted that not only carpenters use kites. Other craftsmen also use this element as a holding mechanism .
The barrel on the clarinet
A piece that is part of the clarinet , a wind musical instrument, is called a barrel. What the barrel does is articulate the upper body of the instrument with the mouthpiece .
The musician places his mouth on the mouthpiece and, when blowing, generates the vibration of the reed . The performer's left hand, meanwhile, is placed on the upper body, where a part of the clarinet mechanism is located. The barrel, as we already said, makes possible the articulation of both sectors (the mouthpiece and the upper body).
The kite
In several Latin American countries, the kite is called a kite . This toy and pastime can also be referred to as kite , pandorga , parrot or kite , depending on the area.
A kite is an aerodyne : a flying object that weighs more than air and is supported by aerodynamic forces. The kite is raised and supported by the action of the wind and maintains flight as long as the person in charge of its control keeps it in the appropriate position through the management of one or more threads .
Kites are generally used by children as a game . The fun lies in lifting the kite and trying to keep it in the air. However, there are also kite competitions that have adults as participants.
Children from all over the world enjoy flying kites.
The crab known as skipjack
Animals of the genus Uca are often called kites or fiddler crabs . These are saltwater crabs that are characterized by having one claw that is much larger than the other.
Kites are decapods since they have ten legs. If a kite loses one of its claws , it usually grows back.
Other uses of the concept
The RAE points out that, in Mexico , a kite is an apprentice who is dedicated to helping a professional. Usually it is someone who works alongside a lawyer .
In the field of the navy , the kite is a knot . It is done on certain ropes to function as support for a painter, a mojel or something similar or so that the ropes do not go beyond the place where they have to remain firm.
