Abstract
Wind instrument research at Brigham Young University during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s will be reviewed. In more or less chronological order, the research was as follows: (1) Calculation of input impedances of an oboe; (2) predictor coefficient analysis/synthesis of French horn tones; (3) functional model of a simplified clarinet; (4) calculated and measured modal frequencies of brass instruments; (5) calculation and measurement of flute impedances and standing waves; (6) calculation and measurement of horn impedances; (7) simulation of a player-clarinet system; (8) optimization of clarinet toneholes; (9) simulation of a player-trumpet system; (10) stroboscopic measurement of the lip motions of a trombone player; (11) calculation and measurement of nonlinear effects in loud trombone tones; (12) finite element modeling of the lips of a trombone player.
