To carry out the investigation, a hearing survey<\/a> <\/strong>was conducted for all audiences to subjectively assess their opinions about the sound of several oboe reeds, one of them from Valencia. According to the researcher Jes\u00fas Alba, “with this survey we can even compare the quality of our native reeds agianst other more commercial ones.” He highlighted the importance of the participation of the general public in this phase, a key element since part of the research focuses on the emerging field of Citizen Science. The survey is currently no longer open to participation as it is now in the process of data collection.<\/p>\n
