A Mathematical Model of the Acoustical Properties of the Transverse Concert Flute
| Division: | Health Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Algoma Rotary | | City: | Sault Ste. Marie, ON | | School: | Korah Collegiate & Vocational School | | Abstract: | This project produced a model that is used to accurately estimate keyhole locations on a flute's body. Finding notes and their tube lengths, end corrections were applied to these lengths in order to accurately predict wavelength and find a correlation between frequency and tube length. This method had a small keyhole placement error of ±0.053m, and could be changed to suit other open tube instruments. |
