2. Embouchure collapse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embouchure_collapse

   Many brass instrumentalists argue that excessive mouthpiece pressure is a major cause of embouchure problems and can be a factor in causing embouchure collapse. However, the pressure of the mouthpiece is not static during playing: it increases the higher the register a player plays and the louder the volume level. [4]

3. Mouthpiece (woodwind) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouthpiece_(woodwind)

   Soprano saxophone mouthpiece. The mouthpiece of a woodwind instrument is that part of the instrument which is placed partly in the player's mouth. Single-reed instruments, capped double-reed instruments, and fipple flutes have mouthpieces while exposed double-reed instruments (apart from those using pirouettes) and open flutes do not.

4. Hotchiku - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotchiku

   Like the mouthpiece inlay, this protects the bore from taking on excess moisture and contributes to the flute's longevity. Lacking urushi and a mouthpiece inlay, hotchiku gradually take on moisture as they are played, making the tone less stable.

5. Overblowing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overblowing

   A key fact for understanding both overblowing and bending on such an instrument: a free reed mounted over a reedplate slot will normally respond to air flows that pull it initially into the slot, i.e., as a closing reed, but, at only slightly higher air pressure from the opposite side, will also respond as an opening reed; the resulting pitch ...

6. End-blown flute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-blown_flute

   The end-blown flute (also called an edge-blown flute or rim-blown flute) is a woodwind instrument played by directing an airstream against the sharp edge of the upper end of a tube. Unlike a recorder or tin whistle , there is not a ducted flue voicing, also known as a fipple .

7. Bore (wind instruments) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_(wind_instruments)

   Modern brass instruments however generally make use of the full length of the instrument for every pitch, and are therefore significantly affected by the effects of the mouthpiece and bell. These modify the instrument's resonances to closely resemble that of a conical pipe, even if the bore is mostly cylindrical. [2]

9. Vessel flute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_flute

   A vessel flute is a type of flute with a body which acts as a Helmholtz resonator. The body is vessel-shaped, not tube- or cone-shaped; that is, the far end is closed. Most flutes have cylindrical or conical bore (examples: concert flute, shawm). Vessel flutes have more spherical hollow bodies.
