segédfúvó

Segédfúvó is a Hungarian term that translates to "auxiliary wind" or "secondary wind" in English. It refers to a supplementary wind instrument used in certain musical contexts, often to enhance or modify the sound of a primary instrument. This can include instruments that produce a sustained tone, provide a harmonic background, or add specific timbral qualities to a musical piece.

Historically, the use of segédfúvó instruments was more prevalent in folk music and traditional ensembles. They might have been employed to create a richer sonic texture or to fill out the sound in situations where a full orchestra was not available. The specific instruments that fall under the category of segédfúvó can vary greatly depending on the region and musical tradition. They could include simple pipes, whistles, or even more complex instruments adapted for this supporting role.

In contemporary music, the concept of segédfúvó might be interpreted more broadly. It can encompass any instrument that is used to support or augment the main melodic or rhythmic line, even if it's not a traditional wind instrument. The purpose remains the same: to add depth, color, or an additional layer of sound to the overall musical performance. The term emphasizes the supportive function of the instrument rather than its melodic prominence.
