The '''nelinda''' is a ~~conceptual~~ family of single-reed instruments developed by [https://www.youtube.com/user/TruncatedTriangle/ TruncatedTriangle]. In contrast to the conical-bore saxophone, which produces all (1n+1) harmonics, and the cylindrical-bore clarinet, which produces mostly odd-numbered ({{nowrap|2''n'' + 1}}) harmonics, the nelinda has a taper opposite in direction to the saxophone (that is, wider at the mouthpiece end and narrower at the bell end) designed to highlight the {{nowrap|3''n'' + 1}} harmonics (that is, harmonics 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, etc.)

The '''nelinda''' is a hypothetical family of single-reed instruments developed by [https://www.youtube.com/user/TruncatedTriangle/ TruncatedTriangle]. In contrast to the conical-bore saxophone, which produces all (1n+1) harmonics, and the cylindrical-bore clarinet, which produces mostly odd-numbered ({{nowrap|2''n'' + 1}}) harmonics, the nelinda has a taper opposite in direction to the saxophone (that is, wider at the mouthpiece end and narrower at the bell end) designed to highlight the {{nowrap|3''n'' + 1}} harmonics (that is, harmonics 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, etc.)

This implies that it will overblow not at the octave/ditave (2/1) or the twelfth/tritave (3/1) like other single-reeds, but instead at the fifteenth or double octave (4/1), giving it a wide range.
