help finding an image

Post by **Dale** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 6:55 pm

I'm looking for an image to use as the basis of some cover art for a literary project I'm working on. I'm looking for a diagram of a flute or a flute-like instrument with soundwaves moving through it. You know: resonance and wave-length and all that kind of stuff. A kind of a math-meets-music image of some kind. Please post here if you can locate any good candidates.

Thanks!

Dale

I understand what you mean, but had no luck. Wouldn't it be faster to just take an existing image of a flute, and then add your own sound waves?

Maybe. I'm thinking about it. I'll eventually get inspired.

Here's a picture that might work for you--it's at the bottom of this page.

I should warn you, though, that it looks suspiciously recorder-like.

Not only that, but it makes it look as though the wave only starts some distance down from the windway. That can't be right!

There's a nice graphic on this, although it's not exactly internal:Flute Acoustics

It's a link from

And this may be the

I knew a guy in high school that used to do that with a kazoo - his flaming kazoo was famous, but the teachers weren't too fond of it.

Zooming in really close, it appears the holes are closed with keys...

OMG That is the funniest thing I've seen since the episode of South Park where Damien (Spawn of Satan) is the new kid in school and to win favor with the "children" he sends Pip up into the sky like a bottle rocket.

This has got to be the funniest picture I have seen on the board for a loonnnnng while. I'm cryin' here!!

Somehow I don't think that a good seal on all the holes is the real issue.
Oohhh I can't even see to type this.. hhahahaahhahahahahahahahaa
