Abstract
The starting transient and the transition between notes are known to be of fundamental musical significance on all instruments. On a brass instrument, the player needs to establish a strongly coupled resonance between the air column and the lips for a note to sound effectively. In the case of a slurred transient, the player must decouple the lips from one resonance before establishing the next. The ease with which this can be achieved depends on several factors including tube length and bore profile, and resonant modes being played. Analysis of measured mouthpiece pressure data and time domain computer modeling have been used to explore transient phenomena in brass instruments, with the aim of identifying desirable playing characteristics of an instrument.
