The sound of the udu
arXiv:2204.11610 · doi:10.1088/1361-6552/ac69a1
Abstract
The udu is a traditional Nigerian percussion instrument that can be thought of as a Helmholtz resonator with two apertures. We use a simple two-particle mechanical analogue to study the behaviour of such a resonator and find that the model describes quite well the main features of udu acoustics.
