A study of brass instrument acoustics using an artificial lip reed mechanism, laser Doppler anemometry and other techniques

The self-sustained oscillation of a brass wind musical instrument involves a complex aerodynamic coupling between a multimode mechanical vibratory system (the lips of the player) and a multimode acoustical vibratory system (the air column of the instrument). In this thesis the behaviour of the coupl...
