Mapping woodwind playability using measurement based physical models

Playability diagrams can provide insight into the behavior of a musical instrument under different playing conditions by visualizing the interaction between various musician-controlled playing parameters and their effects on the instrument's sound.These diagrams are created using measurements of real instruments or physics-based simulations.Recently, there has been an interest in producing playability diagrams of single-reed woodwind instruments using physical models.Our study furthers this exploration by using measured woodwind impedances and mouthpiece geometries to synthesize realistic instrument tones.By analyzing these tones, we aim to characterize the effects of different mouthpieces and instrument responses on playability and tone quality.
