 Re: Effect of Oral Cavity Size on Sound

Just a fine point to that. The differences heard and deployed by players are very real. It’s just that the mechanism is in fact merely a combination of air and embouchure (quite subtle changes in ‘pressure’ on the reed).


I feel the best analogy is the production of a sound on violin. There are very subtle but consequential changes to the pressure exerted on the string. For example, an articulated beginning to a note is done with slightly more pressure right at the outset and a quick backing off from that pressure. The overall dynamic of the note is determined by the force on the string (embouchure) coupled with the speed of the bowing (amount of air in our case).


We’ve talked about there being room for inaccurate descriptors if they ultimately lead folks in the right direction (ie “cold air” that I parroted from Marcellus for decades). That’s of course if it indeed leads you in the right direction .
