RIAM 2.0 - Reed Instrument Artificial Mouth. A Blowing and Tonguing Device for Artificial Excitation of Single-Reed Woodwind Instruments


Full item page
  • Abstract
    • This technical report provides the construction details and solutions of the further development of a reed-instrument artificial mouth (RIAM), which is an artificial blowing device used to analyse single-reed musical instruments. Among other aspects, the extension by a special seal, which flexibly encloses the mouthpiece, and the introduction of a controlled artificial tongue are discussed. Software developed in LabVIEW is explained for a better understanding of the features provided. Technical drawings presented should facilitate reproducing the design of RIAM 2.0.
