Abstract
While linear considerations suffice to determine many of
the design and performance parameters of musical instruments, such
as the shapes of horns, the placing of finger holes, and the
resonances of vibrating structures, it is essential to take into
account- the nonlinearity of the system in order to understand such
things as radiated sound power, relative intensity of harmonics, and
attack transients. This paper discusses some aspects of nonlinear
behaviour, with particular reference to wind instruments.
