Experimental jet velocity and edge tone investigations on a foot model of an organ pipe.

In order to investigate the physical processes involved in the build-up of the sound signal in a labial organ pipe a pipe foot model has been developed. The main important parameters, such as positions of the lower and upper lips, the wind pressure in the pipe foot, and the width of the flue, can be adjusted by means of this model. Moreover, different types of languids and pipe bodies (resonators) can be attached to the model.
