Love how you give us the "Physics of the Trumpet" ... it makes it so much easier to understand what to do once you realize How things work and Why they work. Big Thanks !!! I wonder though, when you mentioned at 1:55 "ONE of your lips is vibrating ..." I find that both of my lips are vibrating pretty equally. Are you saying I would be better off anchoring one of my lips and only let One of my lips vibrate ??
Each lip vibrates, but the longer lip vibrates for low notes while the shorter lip (usually upper) vibrates for higher notes. If both vibrate st the same time, you may experience a double buzz.
@@JohannesBecker2123 added resistance by the arch will add to the total system resistance. Thus the flow will be reduced. So for a fixed aperture size the flow velocity through it would be proportionally reduced. Also, the tongue position does not increase the air pressure bearing on the aperture, thus the velocity thru the aperture does not increase.
Where did you measure? Through the aperture? How did you place a hot wire in the lip aperture while playing? Since the lip aperture opens and closes during the cycle, how did you not burn your lip?

You' re the real deal!
thank you Jason for the explanation, ik hope i'll get it working now

Great series. Thx!
Good show again
Good explanation in terms I can understand! What makes a trumpet good?
This is a great video. Science helps me a lot. But question if low c is one and c in the staff is two wouldn’t the next c be four?
Yes!
Why the decision to change the size of the aperture rather than changing the airspeed with your tounge?
See my next video 👍😃
The tongue does not increase the air speed through the aperture. Nor does the size of the aperture.
Darryl Jones How doesn’t it?

For air speed to change pitch range, does the aperture size have to be changed as well?
yes and no, the answer depends on dynamics (decibels), lip durometer, and oral cavity shape.
Hi Jason. Did you check those speed changes with anemometer?
Yes. I used the hot wire method.

I think air speed comes automatically
Nice thought, but that is definitely not true. If air speed were automatic, everyone could easily play high notes without endurance issues.
@@harrelsontrumpets Sorry bout that, your right, I guess I've been playing so long it seem's natural to me. Thanks.
