Bore optimisation and impedance modelling of brass musical instruments

The input impedance of a brass musical instrument is a good representation of its resonance characteristics. Methods of calculating input impedance for a known instrument shape, or bore-profile, are reviewed, and an extension to existing theory for bent waveguides is given. These input impedance met...
