[Trombone-l] Acoustics of brass instruments

[Chris Tune]

I get it. . .I wouldn't be able to listen to him (and I even have one 
recording which is in beautiful stereo), except for electronics.

You know the execs at the record companies asked some engineers:  "Why would 
you want two speakers?. . .It's just like your shower.  You wouldn't have 
two shower heads, would you?"

Dumb=record exec | Really dumb=RIAA

I'd like to note that this thread is entitled" Acoustics of brass 
instruments".  Intrinsically, this is a science subject.  Physicists don't 
research acoustics ONLY to help do some practical sound-oriented thing. 
This is like any science.  The interest is in advancing understanding.

I think the problem here is that some don't appreciate that you can be 
interested in science without having to have a "practical reason".  I 
wouldn't suggest for a minute that studying trombone acoustics will make 
anybody a better trombone player.   NOT THE POINT.  Understanding how a 
brass instrument works makes me feel good.  I enjoy understanding things. 
It is just like hearing good music.  It makes you feel good.

I was pretty thrilled to find the Australian University site which had ample 
material about various wind instuments including flute, clarinet, trumpet 
and trombone and digeridoo acoustics.

I don't think it is mandatory to stick to PERFORMING theory regarding 
trombone.  I would tend to think any fully trombone-oriented subject ought 
to be good enough.
