Flutes, Recorders, and Pipe Organs

A chapter on the fundamental aero-acoustics of wind instruments has been written by Hirschberg [76], and a comprehensive treatment of the acoustics of air jets in recorder-like instruments is given in the 1995 thesis of Verge [190].

A comprehensive review article on lumped models for flue instruments was contributed by Fabre and Hirschberg [58] in a special issue (July/August 2000) of the Acustica journal on ``musical wind instrument acoustics.'' An overview of research on woodwinds and organs was recently presented by Fabre [57]. Follow-up publications by this research group include papers concerning the influence of mouth geometry on sound production in flue instruments [48,143].
