Re: Objective testing of resistance in clarinets

I understand that Ed Pillinger actually constructed more or less an artificial clarinet player, I think in connection with his dissertation, including an embouchure, mouth cavity, and so on. Apparently, it comes reasonably close to the real thing, and allowed him to draw conclusions about what kinds of changes do and don't affect the sound. His mouthpieces are quite good, anyway, so it's probably helped him with that. That's the kind of thing it would take to objectively measure resistance and evaluate the influence of instrument, mouthpiece, reed, and player, but it seems like it could be done.
