reediness
Thin, nasal tone
Reediness is the quality of sounding thin, high-pitched, and slightly harsh—like the tone produced by a reed instrument played without full resonance.
A voice described as reedy has this quality: The old man's reediness made him hard to hear over the crowd.
The term can also describe physical thinness suggesting reeds.
