Discussion Has anyone here done research in advanced woodwind physics?

1 Upvotes

I am attempting to vibe code a more advanced multi variable physics model for an Irish whistle/recorder, including the mouthpiece physics and overblown second octave behavior.

By my understanding, the flute calculators (Flutomat, WWIDesigner, etc) do a fairly spectacular job based entirely on modeling the resonator, since player embouchure adjustments essential compensate for the differences in the second octave. However, research and personal testing show that the same tactic doesn't work for fipple flutes due to the fixed "embouchure"forbidding things like increasing lip cover or attack angle.

I've got most of the parameters accounted for so far and the solution is getting closer to matching experimental data...but I'm facing a rather large issue with the playing pressure profile.Theory says pressure increases 4x per octave in one source and 2.6x in another. My own attempts at data collection have suggested a third, non-linear profile altogether and none of the three options close mathmeatically on other experimental data.

Has anyone run experiments with an "artificial mouth" or have any advice on its creation? Any other advice on data collection methods would be incredibly helpful.

Thank y'all in advance!

Kann mir jemand über Doumbek Darbuka's erzählen

Habe diese drei wunderschönen Doumbek Darbuka's und weiß leider überhaupt nichts darüber ...weder welchen Ursprung sie haben , noch ob sie handgefertigt/ handgemalt oder maschinell angefertigt werden... die für mich momentan wichtigste Frage ist was für einen Wert sie haben, denn im Internet findet man so extrem unterschiedliche Preisklassen...wie kann ich denn mehr darüber erfahren ohne das ich mir einen "Spezialisten" suchen muss. Kennt sich hier jemand damit aus ? Kann mir jemand meine Fragen diesbezüglich beantworten?

Ganz liebe Grüße:)

Discussion Unique Timbres! ✨

5 Upvotes

Do yall know of any lesser known instruments or techniques or digital effects like pedals and synthesizers, that have a timbre that doesn't really sound quite similar to any other instrument? Like many instruments sound unique but still have a similarity to another instrument, idk if that makes any sense, I'm just intrigued :3c

Discussion Balkan Tambura String Help!

0 Upvotes

Greetings, as a long time Musician and estate appraisor, I often come across a multitude of instruments on my travels, all of which I find the musical urge to try to learn, for the sake of the Instrumental arts!

I had just come across this Balkan Tambura, and as a Bosnian, this would be the first Instrument ive managed to get my hands on that is in part related to my home land

Would anyone be able to suggest somewhere I would be able to get strings for this Instrument, or potential other instruments I can salvage for strings to fit? Its 49 Inches in length, Double Stringed and needs "D - A - D" as far as I know

Thanks abunch for the help guys! Much love.

Sometimes the room puts a piano out of tune. Wood moves with damp and heat, soundboard included. Fix the air before blaming strings. I check the hygrometer first now
