H4-37: FLEXIBLE TRUMPET
- ID Code: H4-37
- Purpose: Demonstrate some acoustical features of the trumpet.
- Description: Adding a trumpet mouthpiece and a funnel to the opposite ends of a flexible plastic tube creates a "flexible trumpet" which has all of the basic acoustical features of the real thing. The overtones are those of a valveless trumpet; like the trumpet, the fundamental is not good on the device. This uses the same mouthpiece as the demonstration Cornet H4-38.
