hey dave
How do you find your metalite m5

Yeah... we do it all the time man... but it requires some serious attention to notice... duh... man... serious... notice...Has anyone ever played an octave below B flat 3 on a tenor?
Hi Jack. Yes, I tried your idea out and it worked. I had to use someone else's knee of course. I now take her with me whenever I go on a gig. The bonus is that she has lovely knees. Thanks for the comment. Incidentally in the unsw article ref written note versus frequency, nowhere does it actually give a correlation between written note and its frequency. The impedance spectrum doesn't help because it doesn't say which written note is represented by 116 Hz. You can make the guess that it's A#2 or you can guess that it's A#3. What a good thing we have experts on this forum who know which frequency to guess !
Remember that frequencies of musical notes vary slightly with the temperature of the air (which determines the speed of sound).
Not sure about that. As I understand it the pitch of a note is determined solely by it's frequency.
The speed of sound affects the relationship between frequncy and wavelength. 440Hz is always the same frequency but will have different wavalengths according to air temperature, pressure, humidity, etc. The resonant frequency of a metal tube like a saxophphone is determined by the speed of sound, however, so your sax will tend to play sharper at higher temperatures, other things being equal.
