Acoustical aspects of the flute
View through CrossRef
Neville Fletcher's wide ranging interests in excitation mechanisms and sound production in musical instruments and other sound sources have resulted in many related reports and publications. The presenter had the good fortune to work with Fletcher while holding a Senior Fulbright Fellowship at the University of New England. The joint research on acoustical aspects of the flute resulted in two papers: “Acoustical characterization of flute head joints” (Fletcher, Strong, and Silk, JASA 71, 1255-1260) and “Numerical calculation of flute impedances and standing waves” (Strong, Fletcher, and Silk, JASA 77, 2166-2172). These two papers will be reviewed in the presentation.
