The kinetics and acoustics of fingering and note transitions on the flute
André Almeida, Renee Chow, John Smith +1
Motion of the keys was measured in a transverse flute while beginner, amateur and professional flutists played a range of exercises. The time taken for a key to open or close is ty…
Torsional waves in a bowed string
Eric Bavu, John Smith, Joe Wolfe
Bowing a string with a non-zero radius exerts a torque, which excites torsional waves. In general, torsional standing waves have higher fundamental frequencies than do transverse s…
Rotationnal and translational waves in a bowed string
Eric Bavu, Manfred Yew, Pierre-Yves Placais +2
We measure and compare the rotational and transverse velocity of a bowed string. When bowed by an experienced player, the torsional motion is phase-locked to the transverse waves,…
How do clarinet players adjust the resonances of their vocal tracts for different playing effects
Claudia Fritz, Joe Wolfe
In a simple model, the reed of the clarinet is mechanically loaded by the series combination of the acoustical impedances of the instrument itself and of the player's vocal tract.…
