The History of the European Acoustic Journals since 1930: an Overview Open
The first acoustics journals were published in the 1930s.Some European Societies launched specialized journals, and at the same time, the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) started its publication in 1929.The growth of JAS…

Acta Acustica: State of art and achievements after 3 years Open
After its creation in 1993, the journal of the European Acoustics Association (EAA) has known many progressive transformations.The merger with the journal Acustica in 1996, under the name Acta Acustica united with Acustica (AAuA) allowed a…

Characterization of open woodwind toneholes by the tube reversed method Open
Woodwind tonehole's linear behavior is characterized by two complex quantities: the series and shunt acoustic impedances. A method to determine experimentally these two quantities is presented for the case of open toneholes. It is based on…

On the tonehole lattice cutoff frequency of conical resonators: applications to the saxophone Open
The tonehole lattice cutoff frequency is a well-known feature of woodwind instruments. However, most analytic studies of the cutoff have focused on cylindrical instruments due to their relative geometric simplicity. Here, the tonehole latt…

Transfer matrix of a truncated cone with viscothermal losses: application of the WKB method Open
The propagation in tubes with varying cross section and wall visco-thermal effects is a classical problem in musical acoustics. To treat this aspect, the first method is the division in a large number of short cylinders. The division in sh…

The link between the tonehole lattice cutoff frequency and clarinet sound radiation: a quantitative study Open
Musical instruments are said to have a personality, which we notice in the sound that they produce. The oscillation mechanism inside woodwinds is commonly studied, but the transmission from internal waveforms to radiated sound is often ove…

The effect of the cutoff frequency on the sound production of a clarinet-like instrument Open
The input impedance of woodwind instruments is characterized by at least two bands due to the lattice of open toneholes, a stop band at low frequencies, and a pass band at higher frequencies where the acoustic energy is able to propagate p…

Role of the resonator geometry on the pressure spectrum of reed conical instruments Open
Spectra of musical instruments exhibit for-mants or anti-formants which are important characteristics of the sounds produced. In the present paper, it is shown that anti-formants exist in the spectrum of the mouthpiece pressure of saxophon…

Sound production on a “coaxial saxophone” Open
Sound production on a “coaxial saxophone” is investigated experimentally. The coaxial saxophone is a variant of the cylindrical saxophone made up of two tubes mounted in parallel, which can be seen as a low-frequency analogy of a truncated…

Propagation of acoustic waves in two waveguides coupled by perforations. II. Application to periodic lattices of finite length Open
The paper deals with the generic problem of two waveguides coupled by perforations, which can be perforated tube mufflers without or with partitions, possibly with absorbing materials. Other examples are ducts with branched resonators of h…

Idealized digital models for conical reed instruments, with focus on the internal pressure waveform Open
Two models for the generation of self-oscillations of reed conical woodwinds are presented. The models use the fewest parameters (of either the resonator or the exciter), whose influence can be quickly explored. The formulation extends ite…
