Abstract
Two simple equations give the minimal modelisation of the acoustical behaviour of woodwind instruments. We discuss the predictions of these equations on the characteristics of the small oscillations, in particular their quasisinusoidal character or finite harmonic content, and domain of existence. We show that, instead of predicting a unique and simple standard behaviour, they introduce a whole series of possible cases (including normal and inverse bifurcations), depending on the characteristics of the non linearity and of the resonator.
