Question

A soprano saxophone is approximately a conical tube 0.75 m long that is open at the wide end and closed at the apex. The wide end is about 8 cm in diameter. Find the frequency of the lowest note (in Hz) at 20 C, but this time include the end correction at the open end. The result you find should still be too high, but not as much as when the end correction was neglected. To get closer to the actual frequency, we would have to better model the shape of the mouthpiece and the flare at the open end.
