Abstract
A time‐domain simulation model has been developed for investigating the player‐clarinet system. The three components which constitute the simulation model consist of the “subreed” system, reed, and clarinet. The “subreed” system (lungs, bronchi, trachea, and vocal tract) is represented in terms of an analogous circuit model to obtain the “subreed” pressure. The reed is represented as a damped, driven, nonuniform bar. The clarinet is represented in terms of its input impedance impulse response. A convolution of the impulse response with the volume flow through the reed aperture determines the mouthpiece pressure. Use of the model is valid for both small‐ and large‐amplitude oscillations. Many of the nonlinearities associated with the clarinet are incorporated in the model in a rather natural way. Several vocal tract configurations are investigated to determine the influence of the vocal tract on the clarinet tone.
