No reason a well thought out experiment couldn't be done using tenor recorders or low whistles made from different woods - as the fipple largely takes "embouchure" out of the picture.flutefry wrote:My take is that as long as it is difficult/impossible to design a really clean experiment, the discussion will continue.
