   Through use of a high-speed camera one can see that the leaf moves away from the lips when the player blows, and its elasticity brings it back onto the lip this oscillating movement sets it in vibration to produce a sound. An analysis of the overtone series comparing an oboe and birkenblatt playing the note F2 shows they are nearly identical. [21]
