The aim of this work is to highlight experimentally how inharmonicity of the bore resonance frequencies of an alto saxophone influences the nature of the oscillation regimes. A variable volume branching from the neck of an alto sax at an appropriate position allows one to change the frequency of the first resonance independently from the second. A blowing machine with artificial lips is used to...

We present first results of a simultaneous atmospheric turbulence measurement campaign at the Calar Alto (Spain) 1.23 m and 3.5 m telescopes. A SCIDAR instrument and the Calar Alto Adaptive Optics system ALFA were used at the 1.23 m and 3.5 m telescopes respectively to determine essential turbulence parameters like the Fried parameter r 0 , the isoplanatic angle θ 0 , and, in the case of SCIDAR...

Equivalent sound level (Leq), sound pressure level (SPL), and fundamental frequency (F0) are analyzed in each of five Kunqu Opera roles, Young girl and Young woman, Young man, Old man, and Colorful face. Their pitch ranges are similar to those of some western opera singers (alto, alto, tenor, baritone, and baritone, respectively). Differences among tasks, conditions (stage speech, singing, and ...
