Fingering Acoustic schematic Non-specialist introduction
to acoustic impedance |
Impedance phase spectrum of a modern flute with a B foot measured at the embouchure
hole using fingering for C4.
Sound spectra at different loudness levels have been measured for C4.
| Acoustic measurements are available for these flutes - modern B, modern C, classical C, classical D, classical flared, baroque Sound clips are available for modern B, classical flared and baroque |
To compare flutes, it is easiest to open a separate browser window for each instrument. |
