In Reply to: RE: The scientific literature I have read is all about trombones, and here might be the reason: posted by John Atkinson on December 14, 2014 at 15:19:44:
Thanks, John...
But, the thing that I have read before in the literature, but which has never been explained, is:
WHY is the trombone's waveform's asymetrical-ness baised toward NEGATIVE?
Tympani thwacks having a negative pressure front makes perfect sense... . Compress the air inside the kettle, rarify the air above the skin.
But trombones don't work like that. I have seen papers about the inside of the mouthpiece, etc., but, frankly, they were observational and never seemed to explain the why of it.
NB, it could be that trumpet mouthpieces work the same, but that the path length inside the trumpet is not long enough to get the mutual reinforcement past the critical point.
Oh well, don't sweat it.
It's not as though we were talking about violins or something really important like that!
