Would some kind soul out there help me understand why the clarinet
overblows a 12th while a bassoon, a flute, and an oboe overblow an
octave.

Please, no shooting from the hip, but serious knowledge about the
phenomenon. Even better would be an explanation followed by a
scholarly reference.

Much obliged.
