I'm not refuting your claim pewritylab, and frankly my maths is not great, but I'm having a little trouble with the physics side of it. Wind instruments work based on the principle of " standing waves in an air column ", and the linear movement of the air through them has nothing to do with sound produced ...That is a produced by the oscillation of air molecules between static bands of high and low pressure within the tube ( for a given note that is ).You seem to be saying that the additional element of air flow through the tube is somehow fundamental in the blending of two higher frequencies to creat a lower one.
It all sound very alchemystic, but I'm all ears for a physics based explanation I can get me head round.
