 Re: Why arent plastic clarinets made with wooden dimensions?
Author: Bob Phillips

I have a dissertation that compares flute bodies of different materials and wall thicknesses using objective spectral measurements. Conclusion: NO DIFFERENCE in acoustic waveform.

lets sick some music/techno grad student on the problem of making objective measurements of clarinet acoustics. Designing the experiment will be tough (mpc, barrel, upper joint, lower joint, material, wall thicnkess, bell, pitch chosen, ...)

The only way that the material used to make a clarinet can matter is if it vibrates with the note being produced (and its harmonics). If it vibrates, and if its movement is significant, then material properties such as specific stiffness will affect the sound.

So, what's the specific acoustic impedance of a clarinet body?
