Behavior of reed woodwind instruments around the oscillation threshold
نویسندگان
چکیده
Properties of small amplitude oscillations of the single reed woodwind instruments near the oscillation threshold are investigated. Analytical formulae with explicit dependence on the physical parameters of the instrument and instrumentist allow to determine the bifurcation point, the nature of the bifurcation, the amplitude of the first harmonics and the oscillation frequency. The model, which takes the reed dynamics into account, is entirely expressed in the frequency domain and its behaviour is analysed. An application to a model of saxophone is proposed and compared with numerical results obtained through the harmonic balance technique and a time domain simulation, showing excellent agreements.

Oscillation threshold of woodwind instruments
We give a theoretical study of the nature of the bifurcations occurring at the oscillation threshold of woodwind instruments, or of physical systems obeying similar non-linear equations of motion. We start from the simplest description of the acoustical behavior these instruments, a mathematical model containing two equations only, one of which is linear but includes delays, while the other is ...

Time-domain simulations of wind instruments can, in principle, deal with non-linear oscillations and are also capable of modeling both the steady-state and the transient behavior of a system. The starting transient is usually an important identifying feature of the instrument that is played. Subtle control of articulation is required from skilled musicians to modulate transients during expressi...
متن کاملOscillation threshold of a clarinet model: a numerical continuation approach.
This paper focuses on the oscillation threshold of single reed instruments. Several characteristics such as blowing pressure at threshold, regime selection, and playing frequency are known to change radically when taking into account the reed dynamics and the flow induced by the reed motion. Previous works have shown interesting tendencies, using analytical expressions with simplified models. I...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Woodwind Instrument Physical Modeling
This paper briefly reviews several recent developments in physical modeling of woodwind musical instruments. In particular, issues with regard to real-time synthesis of toneholes, the single-reed excitation mechanism, and conical air columns are discussed. A programming environment appropriate for real-time physical modeling synthesis is presented, as well as issues of control demanded by recen...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of fluid-structure interactions in single-reed mouthpieces.
Most single-reed woodwind instrument models rely on a quasistationary approximation to describe the relationship between the volume flow and the pressure difference across the reed channel. Semiempirical models based on the quasistationary approximation are very useful in explaining the fundamental characteristics of this family of instruments such as self-sustained oscillations and threshold o...
