As to Bernoulli forces, Nederveen states, "Worman (1971) calculates the magnitude of the Bernoulli forces which supposedly influence the balance of forces on...
That's interesting about Bernoulli forces. I read something rather different, which I will try to dig up. I am willing to concede that I have not read Ferron...
Some good links I have never seen, including Signor Bernoulli's role and excellent analyses of the whole process (especially the first link). No comments until...
Bernoulli is a simple and useful equation for some basic, incompressible fluid flows (around the reed) . It is a simplification of the Navier-Stokes...
We basically need a good set of differential equations, initial conditions and a good software to solve them :). Ok! I have the software... some idea? Stan...
... Have any of you actually done this? Constructed mouthpieces with short, fat chambers vs long tapered chambers? I have. This is what happens. Start with a...
Just a quick note here. In order to be reasonably in tune in the palm notes, there is a second condition that a mpc has to fulfill in addition to having the...
I'm sure it was mentioned before - Benade considers the neck as the constriction. Oboe: reed + staple (constriction) = missing cone volume Bassoon: reed +...
So, if one really loves the spread sound of that big fat, but too short mouthpiece, then perhaps lengthening the neck with a cylindrical section would make the...
Check out Benade's 1977 paper on the evolution of wind instruments. It is on pg 21 IIRC. It is at MARL on the Benade Archive page under Writings>70s Here is a...
Yes, it's true that the constriction happens at the smallest point: the end of the neck. My guess is that if one removes too much material in the chamber, it...
But all volume is not created equal. Low baffle + small chamber does not equal high baffle + big chamber in terms of sound and response, even if the lay is the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuzjijMUYJ0 This will give you a good idea of what our new video is about STEVE GOODSON SAXOPHONE DESIGNER TO THE STARS our...
Where's my sax's truncation start? Interestingly, as mentioned earlier, Nedvereen cites Rockaboy and Gokhshtien, stating that for conical instruments (both...
Wow, all of you seem to have an impressive amount of knowledge. Too bad someone can't come up with a piece as good as the old Brilhart white with the serial...
I do not consider the exchange going on as "bickering". As discussion here of what is known about mouthpiece acoustics is long overdue IMO.  I have a great...
... Sure John, but consider: 1. not every mouthpiece complements every horn or player 2. many players are still weeding out what doesn't work for them and why ...
Hi everyone, - I find this discussion very interesting, and I do have a question about the end of the neck. -- What influence would it have on tuning the sax,...
Is there anywhere on this group or elsewhere one could get the basics of mouthpiece work including definitions of all the terms (ie rollover,flat spots, window...
... YES!!! I was waiting for someone to say this. And Toby's comparison of the "dead space" by the end of the neck and the flute, from embouchure hole to end...
Theo Wanne has a good bit of basic information on his site.. www.theowanne.com From: MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com [mailto:MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com] On...
... Steve Goodson has these for sale, called the "Neck Enhancer". http://www.nationofmusic.com/index.cfm?action=product_info&item=106&SiteCode=sgoods Paul...
Lance, I think I must be misunderstanding what you are saying in the following part of your statement below. "If I take recordings of 20 famous saxophonists...
The different saxophones, different mouthpiece configurations and materials, different reeds and different physical characteristics do indeed make a...
"But all volume is not created equal" Some observations: 1. Lengthening or widening chamber increases Vtotal and lowers Frs. 2. Shortening constriction tube...
Thanks for your reply Paul, I do know of these neck enhancer that Steve is selling, but that was actually not what my question was about, but the last post...
