Thanks for all the links. I've download the documents and will read them (I'm an engineer and a physics teacher, so the math and theory doesn't bother me). The animation on the first link, I think, incorrect and misleading. First, what occurs inside the clarinet is not a traveling wave, but a standing wave. The best explanation and illustration of what is actually happening can be found here:

Also it appears to be showing the clarinet producing a sound out the barrel as twice the frequency as the frequency of the reed. They should be vibrating at the same frequency.
