Therefore, by definition, all blown > musical instruments will have a
fundamental frequency of 2L.
Hi,
not quite: clarinets sound an octave lower than you would expect when you
regard their length.
They behave like stopped organ pipes. I don't know exactly why -- it comes
from their cylindrical bore.
(Saxophones have a conical bore and allthough they have mouthpieces very
similar to clarinets they are as long as other wind instruments.)
I think the _wavelength_ (not the frequency) of non-clarinet wind
instruments is 2 times the length of the instrument.
