 Re: Does the reed block the air flow?

I'm afraid that Tim's analysis above fails to take into account how the reed/mouthpiece/clarinet system works. For a start, you cannot think of the clarinet body as amplifying what the reed does, as you can (roughly) think of the violin body as amplifying what the string does.

The reed and the tube beneath it interact in a system; so it's as partial a view to say that the tube is acted on by the reed as it is to say that the reed is acted on by the tube. Both are true, simultaneously.

You need to read up on it, Tim. I haven't looked at the papers that Hephaestus cites, but probably they are close to the truth of the matter. (I usually cite Benade: 'Fundamentals of Musical Acoustics'.)
