How localized nonlinear losses condition the acoustical design of a self-sustained oscillator: the clarinet and its register hole
Nathan Szwarcberg, Tom Colinot, Christophe Vergez +1
The register tube marks the invention of the clarinet in the early eighteenth century, tripling the range of its ancestor, the chalumeau, and giving it the widest range among wind…
Register jumps on the clarinet: numerical and in-vitro investigation into basins of attraction and phase-tipping
Nathan Szwarcberg, Tom Colinot, Christophe Vergez +6
When playing the clarinet, opening the register hole allows for a transition from the first to the second register, producing a twelfth interval. On an artificial player system, th…
Influence of the basins of attractions in the register jumps of the clarinet
Nathan Szwarcberg, Tom Colinot, Christophe Vergez +1
When playing the clarinet, opening the register hole allows for a transition from the first to the second register, producing a twelfth interval. On an artificial mouth, the blowin…
Geometric sensitivity of modal parameters in wind instrument models: a case study on saxophone intonation
Nathan Szwarcberg, Tom Colinot, Christophe Vergez +1
The Transfer Matrix Method is a practical approach for modeling plane wave propagation in one-dimensional waveguides. Its simplicity makes it especially attractive for accounting f…
Oscillation threshold of a Raman clarinet with localized nonlinear losses at the open end
Nathan Szwarcberg, Christophe Vergez, Tom Colinot +1
Localized nonlinear losses are taken into account in a simple Raman clarinet model.The complete system is expressed as an iterated map, enabling to study the stability of the diffe…
