ACOUSTICAL invi:sïic;ation of thi: japaxkse bamiîoo pifk. 2!» 



Tlie lesiilt of tlie calculât ion for a number oi* positions is 

 tabulated below : 



The fact that in the mjahuhalJ, the change of the hilerval 

 of the notes, but not the difference of the numher of vihrationii 

 due to a given change in the embouchure, is nearly equal lor 

 different positions of the lateral openings, corresponds to the 

 results of the experiment with the glass pipe viz., that the 

 longer the air column, the steeper is the curve n, to aK 



The results of the effects of lateral openings, if combined 

 with those of the aperture of the embouchure, enalde us to 

 calculate approximately the pitches of the notes corresponding 

 to different positions of the finger-holes.
