Interesting, thanks!
So if you stop a pipe with a reed, at what point does cylindrical become conical? I ask because the flute is clearly cylindrical, but the clarinet is clearly wider at the end of the bottom joint than it is at the top of the upper joint, so it's "a bit" conical but still behaves like a cylinder. How much of a flare is needed to make a change in the way the waves behave, or in other words when does a clarinet turn into a sax?
