Reed Vibration - CH Ting
“I looked at oboe
reeds and thought I can make better ones using the clear plastic sheets from
sushi boxes. These plastic reed whistles show very interesting audio FFT
spectrum with more than 10 overtones of equal strength. I have never seen a
spectrum like that in other music instruments.”
