11: Tubes
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
In this chapter we start with resonance in a tube. Once the basic behavior of pressure waves in a tube are explained we look at various instruments that are basically tubes, such as flutes, brass, woodwinds, and pipe organs.
Key Terms:
Displacement node versus pressure node, tube resonance, tube harmonics, impedance, reed, fipple, edge tone, embouchure, free reed aerophones.
