Modeling the Mechanical Response of Clarinet Reed Ye Lu 2011-03-14
A Single-reed Woodwind Mouthpiece • Stefan Bilbao, 2009, Numerical Sound Synthesis: Finite Difference Schemes and Simulation in Musical Acoustics
F. Avanzini and M. van Walstijn, “Modeling the mechanical response of the reed-mouthpiece-lip system of a clarinet. 1. A one-dimensional distributed model”, ActaAcust, 90, 537-547 (2004).
Disadvantage of Lumped Model • Single degree of freedom with constant parameters can only be assumed for oscillations at small amplitudes • Reed beating is usually incorporated in a non-physical way by imposing a maximum allowed displacement for the reed tip • The dependence of the reed-mouthpiece system on the lip embouchure is not considered in lumped model
Distributed Representation of the Reed • A bar with non-uniform cross-sectional area • Clamped to the mouthpiece at one end • Additional constraints provided by the mouthpiece profile and interaction with the lip
Limitation of the Model • One-dimensional: assume no torsional modes in the reed • No attempt to model the air flow in the reed channel or to simulate the acoustical resonator
Numerical Simulation • Finite Difference Method
Implicit θ-Scheme • Unconditional stable when Θ > 1/4

Simulation Result • The reed tip can not exceed a certain value • The tip is not stopped suddenly but rather gradually
