HOW A CLARINET WORKS A pulse of excess pressure propagates down the pipe (a,b) and is reflected as a pulse of underpressure (c,d), which returns to help draw the reed valve shut. In (e)-(h) the process repeats with this negative pulse, which reflects as a positive pressure pulse.
TWO TYPES OF PRESSURE CONTROLLED VALVES FLOW VELOCITY vs AIR PRESSURE IN A CLARINET
CYLINDRICALPIPE RESONANCES CONICAL PIPE RESONANCES
WHAT ABOUT TRUNCATED CONES? ARE THE RESONANCES HARMONIC?
RESONANCE FREQUENCIES OF OPEN AND CLOSED PIPES, CYLINDRICAL AND CONICAL

TYPICAL BLOWING PRESSURES IN WOODWINDS TYPICAL BLOWING PRESSURES ACROSS THE MAIN COMPASS OF CLARINET ALTO SAXOPHONE, OBOE, AND BASSOON, FOR PIANO AND FORTE PLAYING Fuks and Sundberg, 1996
FLOW CONTROL OF AIR BLOWN ACROSS A BOTTLE AND A FLUTE CONSTRUCTION OF A FLUTE
PRESSURE STANDING WAVES IN A FLUTE IF THE CORK IS PULLED OUT, ALL NOTES ARE FLATTENED BUT UPPER MODES ARE AFFECTED MORE (BECAUSE THE EFFECTIVE POSITION OF THE PRESSURE MODE AT THE BLOWING END IS BEYOND THE CORK)
