Impedance measurements of clarinet player's
airway
This page is an appendix for the scientific paper:
C. Fritz and J. Wolfe. "How do clarinet players adjust the
resonances of their vocal tracts for different playing effects?"
(manuscript submitted to JASA).
Here are the impedance measurements (magnitude and phase)
for different players and for different playing effects :
- normal playing mode on the whole register (measured on
G3, G4, G5 and G6)
- special effects like pitch bend, slurred register change
and tight embouchure
- other special effects like different vowels or comparison
between a nice and a bad sound. These measurements were done
on suggestion of the players so they are not available for
each player.
